"Good Locaton, Good Price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The hotel was adequate and the location convenient for the event I attended. The price was reasonable. I appreciated the free continental breakfast. The breakfast room--an interior room without windows--is small and was crowded both days I was there. Alternate seating is in the more pleasant lobby with windows! Also at this Best Western, unlike at other BWs where I've stayed, the towels noticeably scratchy, not soft, are either old or require different laundering.
"Good food around the hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
They were very friendly and close to everthing, walked all weekend, loved it
"Design savy with great service!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012

Great service location and atmosphere . If your dog people you will love this hotel very pet friendly. We will be staying here again and bring our dog as well .

During warm weather, crowds pack the waters off Mission Beach and Pacific Beach, two of the most popular stretches of San Diego sand. These laidback locales are known to host the occasional farmer’s market or arts festival. Mission Boulevard connects both beaches and leads north to La Jolla.

nice ))
Very nice clean and reasonable price. Just a little bit noisy of the airport nearby.
This hotel is very nice considering the price. I will be staying here again.
"Great location reasonable rates"
We had a great time. Hotel was nice...food was good..pool was nice...location was great....no complaints.
"Incredible pool!"
We have stayed here before and it is nice enough...except for the pool. The pool in the garden area is nice, but the pool by the harbor is incredible! Absolutely love swimming in it! We stayed here this time just so I could swim. The rooms are clean and comfy.
"Pretty Awesome"
Cool hotel! Comfortable, clean, great service.
"Nice Place"
We had a good time. Stayed in Deluxe Marina View room - 600 block- over looking the bay and boats. The pool was warm ~ 90 degrees. Very close to Sea World. Room was updated and comfortable. We would return.
"A hotel for people who likes quiet and boring stay"
Like a summercamp without kids. Nothing happens. Nice wiew and not so far from Sea world.
"Second Time We've Stayed Here"
Loved the experience once again with the exception of two things: Asked to have the parking fee waived since we are repeat customers. Front desk said they would, but then charged our credit card anyway $18. Also, we could hear people in the room next to us, and I don't recall hearing anyone the last time. Other than that, it's a great resort. The pool […] and amenities are wonderful. You can walk to Sea World or take the shuttle instead of paying for parking over there. Also, you should try out the restaurant: Sportsman's Fish across the street. Excellent prices and tasty fish! Read more

Loved it!
"Great hotel"
I'm from San Diego and this is a good hotel and especially for the price and location. We paid under a Ben Franklin for a deluxe marina view room. The view was great of the marina and the boats. The pool was warm and I'd say 90 degrees (no kidding!) so the kids and I spent hours swimming. It has to be the closest hotel to Sea World and pretty close […] to the beach and its on the bay. I could tell the rooms were recently updated also. Only con I would say is room size. It would be better to fit a table that can at least two chairs but not a big deal since I'm not there to sit in a hotel room all day. I would go again and be sure to get the marina view room.

"Solid"
Nice Hotel and my room was fine. No frills, comfy bed and great shower!
Hotel is slightly run down, definitely not a resort type of room, more of a holiday inn.. rooms could use some updating for sure...very dark... but location is perfect
800 wing right next to all dumpsters so we woke up early every morning with the garbage trucks making too much noise. Front desk staff very nice and helpful providing dinner recommendations. Hotel a bit run down and getting facelift which added to morning noise near our room.
Chairs were a little uncomfortable - location was great - staff was excellent - will stay there again
"Walk to Sea World"
Very beautiful location. One of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed! Hotel pool and spa are very nice and have a view of the water. Hotel staff is very professional and helpful. Planning on coming back very soon.

"Seaworld Vacation"
My family and I were going to Seaworld and needed to book a vacation so we decided to stay at the Dana. It is literally less than a 5 min drive to Seaworld! Very nearby. They have 2 pools which one is open until 11 pm! The property is very quiet dispite all of the people and roads nearby. Nice rooms kind of small but clean and nice quality. Will definitley […] stay here again! Read more

"JUST OK"
We were given a room in the back that had the poorest marina view. The girl that checked us in talked like she was a robot even when I asked her questions she then repeated herself all over again. the bathroom counter had an old piece of wood as a shelf that held the microwave and blow dryer (very tacky). The dresser drawers would open up all the way […] on there own becuase it was on an angle. I even put tissue there to hold it closed but that didn't work either. The outside flooring was buckled and torn and I am supprised noone has slipped and fell. I would not stay here again. I did see nicer buildings that were newer looking but the hotel overall I was not impressed and i travel a lot. Read more
"The Dana on Mission Bay in San Diego, CA"
You need to request one of the newer rooms overlooking the bay. They are nicer and each with their own balconies. The older ones are quite loud

"Great hotel"
I'll be back. Great surroundings and service. Only bad parking is extra.
"April Visit 2012"
liked the location of the hotel.. Rooms are very small in the older part of the hotel that has not been refurbished. Would like to stay in the newer area next visit. ps.. I have twins under 2yrs of age and the walls are paper thin, So.. every AM they were awakened by guests walking by or talking next door..

"Love the hotel."
I loved the hotel. I would like to stay there again soon. Had a wonderful stay and the view of the bay was great.
"water view not worth extra money"
Our water view was not a view at all. Is a good hotel to walk around but was disapointed they did not have soy milk or milk subsitudes for breakfast. The resturant had couple good vegetarian dishes but is not enough. Staff are friendly. Breakfast needs more milk subsitudes.
"A pleasant surprise"
The hotel location is fantastic - right across from Sea World and walking distance to beaches and restaurants, without being noisy or overcrowded. Staff were extremely helpful in recommending restaurants and even gave us cards to help us get in. All the restaurants they recommended were superb. The only negative would be that the rooms themselves are […] not quite large enough for the furniture but otherwise very pleasant and clean. I would certainly return and recommend it to others.

was very loud and the construction going on there was not told to us. we slept poorly. on a good note though, the pool and hot tub were awesome and the marina view very nice
"The dana at mission bay"
The hotel was beautiful. We had a suite that overlooked the bay, pretty view..Anytime we called the front desk for anything they were very prompt and courteous. We used the pool and hot tub which were very clean. We will definitely be staying there again and have already recommended to others as well.
"Dana Mission Bay"
I enjoyed the hotel, as it offers a nice comfortable room for a decent price. It is close to SeaWorld, so expect families and children in the surrounding rooms to keep the noise level high. The restaurant provided great servers, and bartenders who know the area, and are very interested in ensuring your stay within the San Diego area, is all you would […] want it to be. Jason from their security team, assisted in a noise complaint, and was so helpful when he volunteered to assist me with the new room process, even carrying my bag and placing it in the new room upon my return from downtown. Overall, close to the beach, nice area, clean and comfortable. Always a great stay. Read more
"It was ok"
The hotel was nice, but it could use some updating. I didn't like that all of the rooms had an outside entrance. And that there were homeless people sleeping on the property. However, the location was great and close to most everything that I wanted to do.
