The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very nice and accommodating and the room was comfortable (however, a little small with two beds). Everything was clean and we loved the amenities such as the microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker. Beds were comfortable and we had a good night's rest."

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were super cool. Very friendly, helpful. We got the suite which was great. Super clean and nice. Loved the full bar with everything you could possibly need! Hotel in general was great, definitely had a Vegas vibe. I was worried it was going to come acroas cheap/cheesey, but not at all. Would definitely recommend. "
