It was very close to the San Diego airport , if you have a rental car then it’s very convenient to go around places like La Jolla, Torrey Pines , Sandiego zoo and other local restaurants. We opted for early check in and late check outs , hotel staff was very accommodative and didn’t charge us any. After negotiations parking fee came down to $10 per night . Overall it is okay , we would have enjoyed if we gotten a better room upgrade with garden or bay view in the top floor . Pool was clean and dine in Resturant was very nice as well

Convenient location, staff was ok, except for this one restaurant manager that took care of us, super firendly to us as a family and was just so kind to our daughter. I didnt get his name but he was behind the bar. Just an amazing asset for this hotel. Room was ok, even the upgrade, but overall ok.

The property is unique with beautiful landscape and paths. Very convenient and offers opportunities for water sports, kayaking and biking around. One pool was closed which I knew once I got there. The cleaning lady did an amazing job everyday, and so did the ladies at the front desk. The thing I wish was better is the breakfast, first the price and the limited choices. We only had it once ( cost 59$ for two!). Overall, the Dana on mission bay is a beautiful destination with breathtaking views.

Landed on the wrong side of a very long bridge with this one and then learned at the motel that there was a required parking fee, which got us off to qn unpleasant start. Everything from there was just fine for the most part but the value is not there for an average experience in an inconvenient location. We walked by several other options that would have been better on our way to the beach.

Our 4-night stay was great the rooms were very quiet and comfortable there is food and drink service on site at the Firefly bar and grill the food was good and so were the drinks but it was high price. The pool and hot tub were very nice the only downside was the unforeseen fee for parking and pool towel fees and I did not care for the 4:00 pm check-in time or the fact that It would have cost $100 to check in early. I would come back for another visit

They charged for early check in which is horrible. I have never been charged for early check in. Also their bed seems to be super small and uncomfortable. The restroom is pretty dirty I even saw blood still on the tile. It’s very convenient to go seaworld. Walkable distance. They also charge for shuttle go to sea world. The feeling of everything will be charged separately is not good
