Decided to give this place a try for my family of four while visiting mission beach. Not too bad of a place we liked it. Pretty convenient to both mission beach & downtown. Lots of places within miles of hotel. Hotel itself could have been a bit updated up we didn’t complain. It doesn’t feel old but it also doesn’t feel new. Had to clean the room a little upon arrival like doors n knobs & most touched areas but that’s me. Remote had old food stuck to it so I had to clean that right away. Sides that it’s a quiet place, safe location. I liked it. Check in easy. Parking easy. I won’t mind staying again.

Perfect spot for family fun days!

Location location location. We had a room with a gate to the pool which was perfect for our littles. We say “Party at the Dana” & it’s a great time for the kids. Warmest pool ever & makes for nighttime fun. Bar cabana at the pool. Location is secure & monitored. We love it!

The Dana is a wonderful choice. The staff was wonderful. It was so convenient to the restaurant on site. I recommend staying on the portion of the property with the Bay Side View. The pool on that side is also quieter and more relaxing. I would definitely stay there again.

Okay- hotels.com needs to update their photos

It was okay, the photos on hotels.com didnt really match what the inside of the hotels looks now. They probably need updating. The hotel room we got did feel like a handicap room, everything felt shorter.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Carpet in the room was filthy, sticky and smelled like urine. Shower was not clean, filled with black hair. The last straw is when the alarm clock went off at 6am, and would not stop going off. Clearly housekeeping needs a checklist to ensure the rooms are ready for guests. I requested 3 times for the front desk manager to call me, and still over a week later they have not called. The only perk of this property is the marina and location. This is the worst stay I have had at this property.

The Dana was BEAUTIFUL!! I took my daughter here for a getaway for her 16th birthday. The property is lovely and so conveniently located near everything! We didn’t realize that it was more a motel rather than hotel with rooms on the outside but it was so lovely to walk the property. It was safe, rooms were comfortable, dining options were delicious and I can’t say enough about the beauty of the property.
