The Dana on Mission Bay

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good
"My wife was denied a popsicle on popsicle day! For the rates they charge, a popsicle seems like something everyone should get. The restaurant on site was slightly above average food wise but the service and drinks were excellent. The location, service, views, and gardens were all excellent. As walkers, we both loved the walk along the coast around the marina. Definitely catch the seafood restaurant across the street from the hotel called Sportsman’s Catch (or something similar) amazing fresh fish sandwiches and excellent prices. We saw them loading in fresh caught fish in the back. Over all a 8.5/10…definitely would stay again."

"This hotel is not only nice, clean, and welcoming, but the staff is highly trained, and ready for anything coming their way. My boyfriend fainted while we were waiting in the line at the cannery and the staff were so quick to help. They brought some cold towels for his head and called the paramedics while calming me down. I am so thankful to them and cannot recommend this hotel enough. We will definitely be coming back for our next trip to San Diego!!"

"Everything about this hotel was spot on! The jacuzzi, pool, restaurant with a view to the marina, the cleanliness of the place…everything was just right. The only bad thing was that their system went down and so did the internet access. But oh well we enjoyed our stay."
