Nice location
Having transferrred here from a hotel in downtown San Diego, the feel was very much of a resort hotel. It was lovely to be so close to the water and to see all the boats.
The lobby area was nice, and the girls on reception went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Customer service was seond to non.Very impressive, and a great first impression.
Our room was in the old wing, so not great views and decor a little tired looking, but still very nice.New rooms have fab views overlooking the bay, and despite sending an email requesting a by view room unfortunately we didnt get one. I found it very noisy one night when person outside our room talking on a mobile phone at 2am- yes, you guy from Northern Ireland talking to Catherine back home! 
The hotel was great. Breakfast in the Blue Pearl was lovely, thanks to Jim our delightful waiter. Eggs Benedict California style was superb. Great orange Juice,and great coffee.
Had dinner in the Firefly one night, very good.HappyHour great too.
I was disappointed that there was nothing much within walking distance. We did walk over the bridge to Mission Beach, looking for another bar or restaurant, but it was all a bit tacky. I preferred the Downtown Gaslamp Area. But. perfect location if you have kids and want to visit Seaworld.
I did like the two swimming pools at the Dana. Very nice.
