We had a very pleasant visit. Highly recommend booking a suite vs just a regular room. Our room was spacious with a great view of the bay. Only advice is to bring your own wine glasses, mugs, paper towels and any other amenities you’ll need for your stay.

This was my 5th stay at Dana Mission Bay Hotel, I like it because it's quiet and clean although this was the 2nd time I experienced their front desk agents not accommodating. They didn't even acknowledge they were just talking I had to get their attention when I stopped by the front desk on the morning of my checkout while waiting for my order at Firefly. I was told by Expedia I could ask for an upgrade since I am on VIP access they told me I don't have that status, and I felt embarrassed. I understand if they say there's none available. I've been booking with Expedia for years I travel every month sometimes twice a month. I am not satisfied with this time trip. Also when I stayed at the Bahia Hotel last October 2024 the room was dirty. I took pictures and videos too. I just didn't have a chance to review it because I was too occupied with my work and travel. I know its been past but I just want you folks to know. Thank you and I do appreciate you .
