The grounds are spectacular, and the location is very nice. Customer service was on point. The “not so great” things: 1. WiFi is absolutely atrocious. I did a speed test and was getting around 0.4 gig download speeds. Yes, you read that correctly. They have a “premium” WiFi option that you can purchase (I believe it’s $25 a day?) 2. At night, motorcycles drag race on the street. Very loud. 3. The rooms need some updates (my king size bed was comfortable, though). 4. A lot of unhoused people stay on the adjoining grounds. Mostly harmless, but some will harass you.

HORRIBLE

The hotel has a ridiculously late 4 PM check in, and they are not willing to give you any leeway, not one minute before 4 PM, then the receptionist with a truly awful attitude, said he would call me when my room is ready an hour and a half goes by, I walk into reception and he lies and tells me he tried to call me and he absolutely didn’t. I showed the manager my phone history and nothing was done. All customer service. The hotel rooms are like a motel. The place is way overpriced, find somewhere else..

We love staying at the Dana whenever we bring our pups. It is very dog-friendly. We stayed at the room with the bay view. There is a patio in the Junior Suites where the dogs can look out. There is a grassy area right outside the room, making it convenient for potty breaks and walks. The restaurant is fantastic. Everything was great.

Stayed there last year and it was great staff. Saw big change this year. Reception staff very dismissive. Ask for 3 rooms together, my husband is 75 and i am 70, he has difficulty walking so wanted rooms close together. Spoke with them twice before we arrived. When we arrived did not have 3 rooms together, they were very dismissive said its only a parking lot away which my husband could not walk to. So we were on one side and my daughter and grandsons were on the other side. Went up for coffee offered twice in lobby and no cream only flavored cream in lobby offered said they could charge milk to my room, or send it to my room. It was housekeeping job to have milk. The point of going to the front was not to wake my husband in the morning. I worked in customer service for over 30 years, the simle solution would have been " if you dont mind waiting, i can have housekeeping bring some right over" but again very dismissive. The other nice thing would be to have a small area for us early risers to sit and have coffee rather than hang outside the reservation area on small bench because the pool area does not open until 8 am. Extremely dissapointed, we come every year to see our other children and grand/great grand children.

Beautiful property that reminded us of Hawaii. You can tell the building is older but it's kept up very nice. Fantastic amenities with two pools with bars and movies for kids at night at the pool. Great location to mission beach. We will be going back.
