The Dana on Mission Bay

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent
"Always stay at the Dana when I’m in San Diego got a bay view room upgrade which has spectacular sunset views: The pools and hot tubs are great the bars and drinks always good with daily specials and happy hour deals. Lots of things to do on-site from boat rides to bikes to paddle boarding. I’ll be back!"

San Diego Marriott La Jolla

8/10 Good
"This was a decent place with easy access and friendly service. It was a more dated room with some wear and tear inside and throughout the building. The biggest issue was the elevators. Out of three, only 1 worked consistently and was the slowest I’ve ever seen. I waited a full 5 minutes one morning just to go downstairs."

"5 star Room service absolutely amazing!!! I wish they served it to you on plates but post Covid I get it everything is in Togo containers now. No biggie though. The hotel is connected to sea port village that was amazing to walk around and get some ice cream. We loved our stay and the view from the 7th floor was awesome looking into the bay!"
