The Dana offers Bay View suites with one king or two queen beds, separate living areas, and private balconies overlooking Mission Bay. Marina Cove rooms feature tropical courtyard views, while accessible rooms include roll-in showers and widened doorways. The 8.3/10-rated hotel also provides deluxe rooms with wet bars, microwaves, and refrigerators.
Waterfront Dining Options
Firefly Eatery & Bar serves American cuisine using seasonal ingredients from the hotel's garden, with marina views from its outdoor patio. The restaurant offers an everyday breakfast buffet with made-to-order omelets and a three-course dinner menu. Poolside dining is available at the seasonal Tropical Pool Bar serving cocktails and local craft beers.

Meeting spaces feature 22-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay, suitable for events up to 200 guests. Electric vehicle charging stations and a 24-hour lobby pantry with grab-and-go items are available on-site.
“What I find most appealing is the tropical landscaping that cultivates a serene environment. The location is superb for accessing Mission Bay, while the absence of resort fees adds considerable value. I also appreciate the thoughtful touches for canine guests, making it a standout choice for pet owners.”
