We really enjoyed our stay here - area was so convenient for everything we had planned. Our 5 year old loved the pools and the little "towel creatures" that housekeeping would leave! The room was perfectly sized for the three of us, and the staff was all very friendly and helpful! We would certainly come back and stay again!

Had a great stay. Loved that my room had a little patio that had a gate that opened directly to the pool with the cabana bar. It was so convenient to be able to be at the pool and be so close to my room! The staff at the restaurant (especially Bobby) and bar were very kind and welcoming.

Decided to give this place a try for my family of four while visiting mission beach. Not too bad of a place we liked it. Pretty convenient to both mission beach & downtown. Lots of places within miles of hotel. Hotel itself could have been a bit updated up we didn’t complain. It doesn’t feel old but it also doesn’t feel new. Had to clean the room a little upon arrival like doors n knobs & most touched areas but that’s me. Remote had old food stuck to it so I had to clean that right away. Sides that it’s a quiet place, safe location. I liked it. Check in easy. Parking easy. I won’t mind staying again.

Perfect spot for family fun days!

Location location location. We had a room with a gate to the pool which was perfect for our littles. We say “Party at the Dana” & it’s a great time for the kids. Warmest pool ever & makes for nighttime fun. Bar cabana at the pool. Location is secure & monitored. We love it!

The Dana is a wonderful choice. The staff was wonderful. It was so convenient to the restaurant on site. I recommend staying on the portion of the property with the Bay Side View. The pool on that side is also quieter and more relaxing. I would definitely stay there again.
