Nice property and staff- convenient to many places we went to. The room was ok, not amazing but also not terrible. I do wish there were drapes to darken the room at night as we had a lot of light from the pool coming in. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciate the pet friendliness too! I’d stay again!

Spent 6 nights on a brief vacation at The Dana. The room was clean, well appointed, and the maid staff was great, keeping the room clean and fresh everyday. Parking was right next to my room making it very convenient. The attached restaurant provides a full breakfast and dinner menu which we also found to be convenient, although it is not offered as a part of the room. Very good experience and would recommend for all travelers including kids. Property is also dog friendly.

I was charged for parking yet there was NO PARKING available. I had to park in a loading zone both nights we stayed there. Every single morning, we were awoken at 7am by kayak lessons on the lawn directly below our room. At 8am, we were reawakened by someone stomping on the floor with full force in the room above us for 5 minutes straight. The bathtub was miniature, the sliding barn door for the bathroom was very heavy and is a safety hazard waiting to happen. The handles broke off the cabinet doors in the kitchen nook. This place is trying to be modern without
