The Dana has beautiful views and amenities such as its two pools. The kids loved that you can watch the fireworks from Sea World. Great restaurants within 5 minute driving distances. The staff were very friendly and attentive to needs. I will say they charge a steep fee for parking. It was also a little weird when we opened the patio blinds to see a wedding taking place 5 feet from our patio?!

High price for an old room in need of updating.

The location and view is awesome but the rooms need a serious updating. We couldn’t get the windows closed, so the wet sea air was in the room all night. The mattresses are old and bumpy and the room needs an overall update!

The resort and amenities are nice. The room in particular that we got was dirty, and a noisy location and are outside Laney up against a public park space that was very noisy and filled with barbecue smoke. We were unable to enjoy the outdoor space, which was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel. We also never received housekeeping on one of the days that we need a new towels and toiletries replenished. The staff was very friendly and accommodating when we contacted them about issues. I think a nicer room and location would have resulted in a higher rating of this hotel. The two stars is definitely heavily waited on our room lack of cleanliness and noisy location in particular.
