8.0Justin· Solo TravellerJun 2026

+The rooms are pretty basic, but the rest of the resort was pretty awesome. The whole atmosphere makes a person feel good. The staff is very helpful and they drive you to different locations if needed. It was one of the experiences I've ever had with a 3 star hotel. Also, it's also nice to look up…

–There's nothing that was bad.. The only thing is the rooms are very basic which is expected from a 3 star hotel.

8.0Mai· CoupleJun 2026

Overall it was a good stay in the mid point of La Jolla and Balboa Park.

+The location is good in Mission Bay Area.

–Nothing to dislike.

3.0Elisa· CoupleJun 2026

Even though the Bahia is a little more we will be returning to it. NO more Dana for us.

+Bar staff was very pleasant and service was great.

–The location is noisy. Too much road noise and the property is surrounded by public park with people blaring their music all day and night. People around the property smoking weed. Elevator smelled like weed every time we got into it.
