The Dana on Mission Bay

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent
"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."

The Wayfarer San Diego

10/10 Excellent
"If I return to SD, I will stay here again. If my friends are going, I will recommend the Wayfarer. The building itself may be old, but the room was newly renovated and the hotel in general was clean and fresh. I was happy the room had no carpet. The carpets in the hall were cleaned the day after we arrived. None of that mildew smell in the hallway that many beach hotels have. The location is great. Great food nearby with a short walk ( La Playa Tacos) and more great food with a longer walk or a short drive. ( Spitzs Mediterranean and Filippi’s Pizza Grotto) The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool area was amazing. Plenty of seating in the sun or shade depending on your preference. It looks out over the walkway to the beach. It is great for people watching. We also enjoyed watching the surfers. Out the gate and a few steps you can have toes in the sand. The pool area was cleaned frequently. The only improvement would be towels available at the pool. Both pool towels and bath towels were in the room. I loved that both types of towels were big towels, more like the bath sheets I use at home. The only lighting in the room was a single lamp, so more lamps or other lights would be nice. The beds were too soft for me. My husband liked the bed. Be ready to pay for parking almost everywhere you go."

"The location was the best part! Right on the beach. My kids were able to freely walk around. It was very safe.Parking wasn’t an issue at all. Free parking right upfront. You would have to wait in the morning times but a lot availability in the afternoon. We hardly moved the car during our stay since there were a ton of places to eat. Flamingo was right next door and food was great! They even had chairs, umbrellas, bigger boards at our convenience. The hotel wasn’t a 5 star but it did what it was needed for and that was to sleep, shower and change. It was clean just dated being that it’s probably so close to the water. Moisture. Like I said it was perfect for me and my kids to run in and out to go to the beach. The staff was very friendly. The two gentleman that worked there were so helpful with any thing I needed."
