"We had an amazing stay at The Dana on Mission Bay! Our getaway with friends was truly memorable, filled with fun, laughter, and wonderful moments together. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The property and room were generally clean and well-maintained. Although the room we stayed in was a little dated and could use some updating, especially the bathroom, it certainly didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would gladly cherish the memories we made here with our friends. Thank you, The Dana on Mission Bay, for being part of such a special trip! 🌴☀️"

Good breakfast with eggs and sausages. Nice pool and hot tub areas. Good and strong wi-fi, but no cable, just streaming services. Cons: not enough rooms ready by the check-in time. Microwave and ice machine just in the breakfast area- one of each for all the hotel guests. One elevator for entire hotel. No gluten free items available with breakfast. No hooks or shelves in the bathroom- nowhere to hang your towels or wet swimsuits."
