This hotel deserves an all around A+!!! Beautiful grounds, great staff, and I could not beleive how clean everything was, from the room to the restroom in the Blue Pearl resturant there at the hotel. I will never stay anywhere, but there any time I am in San Diego. Not only is it the closest hotel to Sea World, but... more

We recently stayed two nights at The Dana and had a wonderful time. Our room in the newer building was fabulous, with a great view of the bay. The room was very nicely appointed and had a nice little balcony off it so that we could keep an eye on our kids (old enough to be out by themselves, but... more

I booked here after reading good reviews. The hotel's in a good, neutral location (it's about a $30 cab ride everywhere - downtown, zoo, la jolla caves) and it's on a marina and across from a beach. BUT, the hotel is more like a motel because all the rooms are either on first or second floor. I stayed on first... more

This was our third stay at The Dana. We always stay in the rooms on the bay. The rooms are a very nice size and include a small kitchen. The rooms are kept very clean and we've had no problems. We find the rooms to be quiet. We've had nothing but good experiences at The Dana, the people we have... more

My family and I experienced something no one can ever imagine. This hotel is dirty as hell. Especially the pool and spa. The hotel provides no attendant at the pools. I found real [--] in the spa. My son and I were inside the spa over 30 minutes. I actually hold a piece of [--] on my palm. I complained,... more

Enjoyed the sensational views of the bay that the Dana offered, the marina view is the best choice of hotel rooms. Enjoyed the selection, price and quality of the food offered in the on-site resturants. We were disappointed that parking was an extra charge especially since there are no other options for traveling in the area. more

We ( Husband, 2 kids and I) stayed at the Dana on our visit to San Deigo and desipite previous reviews we had a great time. We booked a Marina View Room as part of a Bed and Breakfast Deal. We were given an upstairs room that was clean, quiet and with a great view of the Marina. Although not... more

Generally a good stay with a few gripes, most of all really enjoyed San Diego! The Good: *The standard room was really nice, clean and modern, with a large comfortable bed and large LCD tv. A/C and shower were good - the price wasn't too bad either. *Tried the Blue Pearl restaurant, staff were nice and food was pretty good... more

We stayed in the new wing of the hotel that was built in 2004. The rm that we stayed in, Deluxe Bay View, was soooo beautiful!! It is totally worth the $$!! And I believe it's the first hotel that didn't cost an arm and the decor was modern and looked new... not dreary and old. If visiting the zoo... more
