The Dana on Mission Bay

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good
"The firefly restaurant is worth the visit. The Dana was located in the heart of where we wanted to be. One surprise was the room, not what we had envisioned as a 4 star hotel. There wasn't a door from the main room to the sink. The toilet shower area was quite small as well. It did have ready hot water at all times which were greatly appreciated. Lacking in appeal it was still a good place to stay."
