      Great grassy area!

      My dog loved the Dana, and they even upgraded our room for no extra charge. Great big area with grass for you to run around with your dog. Nice amenities as well!

      Great location right on the bay!

      Very dog friendly, they even have doggie goody bags with a cute water bowl with their logo on it to keep :))

      Bad choice

      The hotel was not kept clean and there was very little security. It was overly expensive for its value. I will not stay there again.

      Great Location!

      Great location for exploring San Diego. We strolled Balboa Park and Old Town with our old boy Max, both were less than 20 minutes away. Spent a morning at Dog Beach, which is super close. The grounds of The Dana were great for strolling with Max, offering plenty of green space for Max to enjoy. The swag bag included a bowl, toy, and some treats! This will be out go-to place for future visits to San Diego.

      Great Resort!

      The resort was def pet friendly! Our dog loved it and my family did too! We had such a great experience, the staff was all very friendly and the location was beautiful! They even have a pet friendly restaurant on site. We received a dog bowl and a small goodie bag which was so thoughtful and much appreciated. We will definitely be staying here again.

      Big area for dogs to walk on

      Nice location to stay with your fur babies, relaxing. We got the room in the second floor with marina view, my dog got scared of the stairs, had to be carried. Nice big area for them to walk around the marina, firefly restaurant is dog friendly. Tip: better to book the room with private patio, but more expensive, just open the gate and dog has access to the grass.

      Dogs are truly welcome

      The front desk provided a doggy welcome bag and the room was great. Dogs were everywhere; it was great.

      Great location!

      Nice hotel to stay at for guests with dogs. There is plenty of space to walk your dog and a few pet relief areas. At Check In I did not receive the "Dog Arrival Kit" as described on their website. All they gave was a plastic bag with a few dog treats and a few dog waste bags.

      Nice Hotel

      The hotel was in a beautiful setting and was a great location for access to the dog beach in OB. We were given the welcome bag for the dog but were never given water or treats at the Firefly Restaurant— and we were there a total of five times! Maybe you had to ask? The room itself was in an older section of the resort. It had a musty smell and sand in the shower from previous residents. They did deduct the resort fee from our bill when my husband mentioned the problems, so that was nice. Would stay there again, but would pay up for a room in the newer section where there is a bay view and direct access to a large grassy area.

      Room with a view!!

      The Dana was amazing!!
      Great location and the staff is super friendly. they even gave Kira a welcoming gift which was a water bowl. it turned out to be perfect because I actually forgot her water bowl at home so our stay there was off to a great start. Our room was on the second floor and I was a little worried about the stairs but Kira had no problem going up and down the stairs I was actually excited about having a room on the second floor because our room had a view of the marina and it was absolutely beautiful. I would Definitely stay here again.

      Great Spot but No Dog Welcoming

      Hi, we chose this spot because if it’s location and it’s seeming catering to our 4-legged friends. Maybe COVID-19 policies have changed things (and if so, they should specify that on their website) but there was nothing welcoming or accommodating for having pets in tow. We did eat at the onsite restaurant which had outdoor ng and Although he didn’t say anything, the sever seemed bothered by Our very small dogs and didn’t even offer water for them. We also couldn’t find The advertised dog waste bags (luckily had some in the car). Will try again post-COVID-19 because the location is great and the grounds were nice!

      Best Hotel For Dogs!

      WE loved staying here with our guy. We moved to a bigger room because the standard was a bit tight fit. They moved us with no problem (slight price increase, but it was worth it ). He was welcomed everywhere and lots of areas to walk him.

      Great Location and Amenities

      We often visit San Diego and The Dana is our definite “go to” hotel. It’s located on Mission Bay, within minutes to the freeway, dog friendly beaches, and Sea World. It’s also has nice walking areas and a park right beside the property. On the bayside of the property, the Dana has rooms on the ground floor with a locking, gated porch that allows direct access to a large grassy area. One thing of note (regarding San Diego beach areas only
