This was my 5th stay at Dana Mission Bay Hotel, I like it because it's quiet and clean although this was the 2nd time I experienced their front desk agents not accommodating. They didn't even acknowledge they were just talking I had to get their attention when I stopped by the front desk on the morning of my checkout while waiting for my order at Firefly. I was told by Expedia I could ask for an upgrade since I am on VIP access they told me I don't have that status, and I felt embarrassed. I understand if they say there's none available. I've been booking with Expedia for years I travel every month sometimes twice a month. I am not satisfied with this time trip. Also when I stayed at the Bahia Hotel last October 2024 the room was dirty. I took pictures and videos too. I just didn't have a chance to review it because I was too occupied with my work and travel. I know its been past but I just want you folks to know. Thank you and I do appreciate you .

We very much enjoyed the location. Beautiful grounds and quiet. Room size was great with a comfortable bed. Found a bike rental place (third party) down at the dock. Fair price for a cruiser bike and we were able to store the bikes overnight at the front desk. Aside from the gentleman who checked us in (name?) the front desk staff we interacted with seemed too formal, almost unfriendly.

We checked in and found that the room we booked looked nothing like the one in the pictures. It was small and there was no balcony. The mini fridge made an awful noise. The air conditioner is also in the bathroom. We made the decision to change rooms. We upgraded to a suite (for an extra 200). The only difference is a balcony and a partitioned wall. No larger fridge or anything else. It’s very outdated. We also got to the new room and there was full Blown construction next door that no one disclosed. All in all we won’t be back but the staff was nice.

Nice place to stay SKIP THE BREAKFAST

Overall, service was excellent and it was a lovely place. It’s sort of eight different buildings that are all open balcony rooms on one side off of a parking lot almost like a motel gathered together to be a resort. It’s a little bit tricky to navigate if you’re not good at finding, but the pool was lovely. The hot tub was great and it’s right in the marina so it’s interesting. My only and biggest gripe is with the breakfast buffet. For a family of four it cost us $100 including taxes and tip and the food was nowhere near the quality to deserve the price. 100% SKIP THE RESTAURANT. Would stay there again as the location is great and access and parking is easy for visiting San Diego. Mission bay is great and the boardwalk is so close.
