The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Even had a towel animal as a surprise. Staff were very nice. Unfortunately during our planned stay the restaurant and bar were closed. We had to leave the resort to have dinner which was not in our plans. My only complaint was not knowing until we arrived. Not the staffs fault and they apologized and offered other amenities. I would have enjoyed relaxing out by the pool along the marina. Ended up going to Belmont Park which was not in the plans and more of an amusement area. Would consider staying again sometime but would call to confirm restaurant and bar by pool was open or cancel and go elsewhere

We had a wonderful stay at The Dana on Mission Bay. Clean and comfortable bed/room. Professional Manager James. Restaurant had great food, pool was warm. Property and grounds were well maintained. You could easily walk to Mission Beach (25 mins) but they do have a shuttle that will take you to the Beach or SeaWorld for $5 per person. We would definitely stay again.
