Concierge "If you're in San Diego for a beach vacation, this isn't for you, but it is close to the convention center, and attracts a lot of guests with business there."
DK Eyewitness "A $56-million renovation has restored its past glory, with mahogany furniture and paneling, tile floors, and luxurious rooms."
Rough Guide "Across from Horton Plaza, this has been Downtown’s poshest address since 1910."
Lonely Planet "No hotel in the region can compare to the Hotel del Coronado for history, but US Grant, built in 1910, comes close." Full review
Star Service "Its unusual tenor is that of a quiet whisper, a mood that surprises those aware of this city's rowdy and rambunctious vibe. For those looking for a tranquil retreat this is downtown's top pick." Full review
Gayot "Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the old-but-new hotel features 270 guest rooms, 47 suites, two bi-level penthouse suites and an eleventh-floor technology penthouse."

"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
