Room served its purpose but wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

The harbor walk path and all the plants were beautiful!

Cons:

We could hear all the traffic from our room. Maybe if we paid extra for bayside our experience would have been better.

Awesome family spot!
Pros:

The Dana was a wonderful spot for our family! We stayed in a Lanai 2 Queen room with our two kids, 4 and 6. The pool and hot tub were great. The Firefly restaurant was delicious for both dinner and breakfast. We loved walking around the hotel area to see the boats and the bay. The family movie in the evening was a hit!

Great customer service!
Pros:

The Dana has AMAZING customer service! I made a stupid mistake and booked the wrong dates, and only realized it when I arrived at the hotel. Vanessa at the front desk was super helpful! She found us rooms so we didn’t have to go somewhere else. We would have been in a tough spot without her, I am so happy she went the extra mile for us!

Would consider staying here again
Pros:

Heated pool, hot tub with nearby bar, great location by a few marinas, and the Firefly restaurant served good food and drinks.

Cons:

The restaurant closed a bit earlier than expected so we kissed out on dinner and drinks lol. 8:30pm seems a little early for a Saturday night. Beds were very firm.
