Great location, mediocre experience but outdated rooms.
Pros:

We liked the location of property, pools and on site restaurant. Restaurant staff had great service.

Cons:

The rooms are like a renovated two story motel. There’s no elevator. There was a business event right next to restaurant that got loud and cursing up a storm which kind of messes up the enjoyment of outdoor seating at restaurant. Front desk staff was ok. The experience felt mediocre.

Pros:

I loved that the room was right by the pool, it was beautiful and clean. We actually got into town a day early and were so grateful that The Dana could accommodate us! The restaurant was delicious as well, and affordable. We will definitely stay if we are ever back in the area.

Pros:

The location, view of bay and restaurant on property and all the amenities that were offered.

Cons:

The condition of room for price. Its outdated, spiders in room and mold on curtains. TV was slow when changing channels. The faucet in bathtub made a noise in pipes when you turn hot water all the way on.

Ok but will look at other options before booking again.
Pros:

Beautiful property and well maintained.

Cons:

You can hear everything in the rooms and no ceiling fans to help drown noise out. AC is also in the restroom area so you need to turn low to get room temp right. I also paid for marina view but would skip next time. Main view is parking lot and plants.

Parking fee is also crazy ($30+ a night) and will keep me from booking here again.
