San Diego Mission Bay Resort

8/10 Good
"Food and service at hotel restaurants, especially Sunday brunch, were excellent. We arrived in time for Tropical Storm Rachel and unseasonably cool and wet weather but still enjoyed our stay in a 1st floor villa room facing the bay. Bathroom had no fan which we thought was odd. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will return here again with more predictable weather."

The Dana on Mission Bay

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing stay at The Dana on Mission Bay! Our getaway with friends was truly memorable, filled with fun, laughter, and wonderful moments together. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The property and room were generally clean and well-maintained. Although the room we stayed in was a little dated and could use some updating, especially the bathroom, it certainly didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would gladly cherish the memories we made here with our friends. Thank you, The Dana on Mission Bay, for being part of such a special trip! 🌴☀️"
