"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
