10/10 Excellent
"We had a balcony view, and it was absolutely gorgeous! I took so many pictures of our view. The staff was friendly, the food was amazing, and the free coffee bar in the morning was awesome! We would absolutely stay here again. This hotel has extremely low fees too. Best hotel stay ever!"

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good
"My wife was denied a popsicle on popsicle day! For the rates they charge, a popsicle seems like something everyone should get. The restaurant on site was slightly above average food wise but the service and drinks were excellent. The location, service, views, and gardens were all excellent. As walkers, we both loved the walk along the coast around the marina. Definitely catch the seafood restaurant across the street from the hotel called Sportsman’s Catch (or something similar) amazing fresh fish sandwiches and excellent prices. We saw them loading in fresh caught fish in the back. Over all a 8.5/10…definitely would stay again."
