Disliked: Staff & service
I was not happy because there was a groundword/construction site in front of our patio. Blue portapotties and a fence. We specifically booked the ground level patio suite because we had 2 small children. We could not let them out at all. I asked to be moved and they said it would cost me an addition $30.00 per day. Unacceptable.

Nice property and staff- convenient to many places we went to. The room was ok, not amazing but also not terrible. I do wish there were drapes to darken the room at night as we had a lot of light from the pool coming in. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciate the pet friendliness too! I’d stay again!

We had a family get away visiting Seaworld and this place was the perfect hotel. Very clean, spacious but also not crowded. It’s peaceful and quite perfect for kids or just adults. We will definitely be back.

Spent 6 nights on a brief vacation at The Dana. The room was clean, well appointed, and the maid staff was great, keeping the room clean and fresh everyday. Parking was right next to my room making it very convenient. The attached restaurant provides a full breakfast and dinner menu which we also found to be convenient, although it is not offered as a part of the room. Very good experience and would recommend for all travelers including kids. Property is also dog friendly.
