Frommer's "The tropical setting beside a golf course makes the Crowne Plaza stand out... it's perfect for families who want resonably priced accommodations." Full review
Fodor's "Clean and comfortable, the Crowne Plaza may not have the frills of downtown hotels and coastal resorts, but it's a reliable pick for budget-minded families."
Lonely Planet "Throw some of the pennies you save into one of the waterfall-fed ponds inside and outside this expansive hotel. This chain is one of the best buys for quality." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The tropical decor still rules the public areas, but the rooms are contemporary and overlook the pool or neighboring golf course."
Gayot "This well-kept hotel has a pleasant resort vibe, with gardens, waterfalls, palms, lagoons and a heated outdoor pool."

"Its relatively central location right off the freeway makes it a convenient base for driving around the city." Full review
Fodor's "Isn’t in the hippest location, but it’s very convenient and close to many San Diego attractions...the attractive hotel features contemporary style, 400-square-foot standard rooms, and a large pool " Full review
Frommer's "It's perfect for families who want reasonably prices...at a minimum 322 square feet, the standard rooms are large enough for two plus luggage and accumulated stuff. Suites are double in size" Full review
Lonely Planet "Leafy convention-class hotel with a Polynesian theme (koi ponds and waterfalls) and rooms with supercomfy mattresses. Parking costs $13." Full review

"The Dana's private marina and location on Mission Bay makes it ideal for boating and water sport enthusiasts, as well as families." Full review
Gayot "The setting is a water lover's paradise, with more than ten tropically landscaped acres on a property in the midst of the San Diego's Mission Bay Aquatic Park."
Star Service "Set in a gated lowrise compound of two- and three-story taupe buildings scattered about well-trimmed lawns and swaying palms, The Dana has a Dickensian vibe that brings to mind A Tale of Two Cities." Full review
National Geographic "Nicely located on Mission Bay; 271-room hotel has newer, oversize quarters with broad balconies which cleverly juxtapose contemporary wood with accents of Chinese art." Full review
Fodor's "Set around an Omega-shaped cove on Mission Bay, the Dana is the closest hotel to SeaWorld and offers a free shuttle to get you there." Full review
Frommer's "You'll pay a little extra for bay and marina views; every one of the old rooms is the same size, with plain but well-maintained furnishings." Full review
