"The Dana is always our “go to” hotel in San Diego. When we bring our dogs, it is even better. This hotel is very dog friendly and that makes such a difference for our trips. Dogs are part of the family and being able to include them is fantastic. The hotel is beautiful, convenient, on the bay, and the staff is wonderful. We will definitely be back soon."

10/10 Excellent
"This is an old older hotel in a fantastic area. The girl behind the counter is phenomenal – I thought I would need a late checkout and though she couldn’t offer that she offered to let me use the breakfast room for meetings until it was time to go to the airport. I ended up taking my zoom meeting. At the airport, but her kindness was up and beyond. So older hotel, comfortable room, and beds with multiple restaurants in a short safe walking distance. I will be staying here again – do not lose your employee that was running the counter Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. If my business was closer, I would steal her in a heartbeat."
