“The Dana on Mission Bay strikes me as a smart pick for families, delivering those classic San Diego vacation vibes without resort fees. I like that the hotel doesn't skimp on the details, even for four-legged family members, plus you're steps away from Mission Bay's watersports scene. Sure, older rooms might show their age, but the value here is undeniable, especially given the prime location near SeaWorld.”
