An ok stay

Parking pass for vehicles is a bit high. Our room was ok close to the pool which was nice for our child. The rooms were ok, walls super thin for a resort honestly. You think resort you think peace and quiet. Well that won’t be the case if you have someone staying in a room next to you. Those were the only things.

So overall, the property is nice. It’s on the marina. It’s reasonably clean and well cared for. The restaurant there while the service and the staff are quite lovely, The food is horrible. I had a terrible meal there after already knowing that it was bad food because I have eaten there before, but the chicken wasn’t cooked. I woke up in the middle of the night with a cockroach crawling on my arm. No idea if they have bedbugs. I looked thoroughly, but I didn’t remove the plug plate covers. I’m not sure if I’ll stay there again. I’m about to send them an email and see what they do about my experience.

The stay at The Dana was amazing. The property was clean and well maintained. Rooms were clean and orderly with the basic items in the room that you would expect for a hotel (soap, towels, hair dryer, robes, coffee ECT). Checking in was quick and easy. I was also fortunate enough to check in early and was given the option to check out via txt. The location is about a 10 min drive to mission Beach and so many close food locations. The only issue I did encounter was that parking at the location was an additional charge. I didn't even see that listed on the initial booking info so be aware.
