They charged me for parking; I think they should either include it in the price or specify it at the time of booking.

The Dana on Mission Bay
Cleaning staff was excellent! Rooms are more dated than appears on the website. No place to sit in the room other than the bed. So room service was out of the question. Firefly restaurant was nice and their waitstaff was also excellent.
