The Dana on Mission Bay did not disappoint. Beautiful location and scenery. Very clean rooms and comfy as well. The pool was heated and they had a DJ playing great music. The staff was awesome and drinks were great! The only thing that could improve is the food at Firefly. We went to breakfast and 1 out of 4 of our dishes was good. I was surprised because I would’ve thought the quality would be more fitting to the hotel. Aside of that, we would stay here again. Kid friendly too.

The standard room I booked turned out to be on the first floor of an older building. During the night I was woken up so many times by the noise coming from the second floor that I called the front desk at 3:30am to let them know I needed to move to a quieter room the next day. Because there was no standard second floor room available they upgraded me to a much nicer top floor room overlooking the bay. The upgraded room was much quieter so I was able sleep the remaining two nights. The property itself is set on the bay which is lovely.There are two swimming pools (one by the bay) which are a nice amenity on a hot day; the only downside is that there's music pumping from mid-afternoon to early evening. On the whole I'd say the older buildings are too noisy to allow for good sleep so if you can afford a room in the newer wing overlooking the bay that would be the better choice.

Nice vibe on the property. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, thoughtful, and chill too. Not a big deal, but the parking spaces were pretty tight, and you're paying $30 a night for that. Bigger trucks and vehicles makes for a pretty tight fit.
