I have been staying at the Dana on my travels to San Diego since 2006. It’s a great place to stay. ”

Cons though, over the years, the Dana has went from being the absolute best bang for your buck to joining the ranks of those charging for parking and other misc BS taxes. These are all additional fees for items that you were getting already. It moves the Dana from being in a class all it’s own to just another high end hotel charging you for everything they can.

Pets and Agoda excellent service ”

Facility lacks privacy. There were homeless people coming in and panhandling on the premises. Or felt unsafe at times. Facility is pet friendly but there are zero places to seat with your pet. Since dogs aren’t allowed on the pool you can’t seat in the pool area where chairs are located. Thanks to Agoda for making it more affordable. We extended our stay and the hotel price was ridiculous.

The staff was awesome! Our room was great except on our second night when we had to switch rooms due to someone using a crowbar to try and break in our front door!!! My mom was getting ready to take a shower while my sisters and I were at the pool. The person was not successful, but did manage to split the door jam. The manager on duty, Andrew, was very accommodating. He gave us a different room, comped our second night, parking, resort fee, and breakfast for the next morning. Agoda quickly reimbursed my credit card for the second night's price. I suggest that The Dana cut the hedges in front of the rooms where we stayed, put in security cameras, and have more security guards patrolling the property. I think I would stay there again.

Probably not ideal for a business traveler”

The Dana had some nice in-room amenities, EG robe and microwave. However, when I went to check out they'd added a $36 fee for resort services. When I pointed out that no one had told me about it on checking in and there was nothing about it on my booking contract they removed it. Nonetheless, it was uncomfortable waiting for the receptionist to read through the contract to make sure that I was telling the truth this. The delay almost cost me my Uber.

It’s a little pricey for a stay. The pool and jacuzzi was great. But for the amount I paid for, I was expecting a great view from my room. I was on the second floor and there was no elevator. Which was hard bringing your luggages up and down. The stay per night was on a higher price plus hotel fees which was $30+ per day. And there was $108 service charge. What was that for? A hotel fee and service charge? I guess I was expecting a better experience with the amount of money I spent.

The resort is extremely run down and dirty. We paid a premium price for staying here. The outside corridors to the rooms are filthy as are the doors leading into the rooms. People put their trash out in the corridors to include soiled towels, plates, etc. The only good thing about the resort is that it is on the water.

With its own marina The Dana offers a perfect setting for staying in San Diego but away from hustle bustle of city. Minutes away from everything attraction and on the waters edge can highly recommend . Staff very welcoming and helpful. Had a meal at cafe , good food but at night would have liked a little more light at the table. An outside setting a candle alone lacked a little light to see what I wa eating.
