GREAT place. Cleaning staff is excellent. Having Firfly on the grounds is a great bonus. Poolside drinks from firefly! Also great location, close to great beaches and everything. 2 family friendly pools. For the price you can't beat it in San Diego.

In general The Dana is a great place . I am being picky giving a 4 star for the maintenance of out door grasses with gardeners seeming to need to make noise mowing or trimming main grass Parkside (next to bay) not just one day but 2 or 3 days 7:00-8:00 am. One day should get the job done. Our balcony needed to be washed down from bird droppings. The rooms are clean and the place is very dog friendly. The pool next to the Firefly Restaurant was very clean and nice with enough umbrellas . Staff were great , friendly and helpful. Nice bar drinks and restaurant food varied. Outdoor dining a plus. Pretty lights at night. Grounds have nice tropical Plants everywhere. Friendly and nice to walk the grounds.

Only thing is there was construction outside where we stayed and they started early (7:30) and their construction trucks made driving and parking near our stay a pain. But we love the Dana

The Dana has seen better days. Inflation gets us all. My main gripe with The Dana is that accessibility could be improved throughout the property. The sidewalks are thin and the accessible pathway seems added as an afterthought (one was quite steep even for my light scooter -- doesn't seem safe for a wheelchair person by himself). Also, parking is relatively cramped and often overflowing. Beyond this, The Dana is at an exceptional location and is a good hotel for corporate functions with nice pools overlooking either the bay or the marina. The Firefly restaurant is quite good.
