The Dana on Mission Bay

A 2004 renovation added 74 contemporary rooms to this 1960s Mission Bay stalwart, set right on the water's edge. Some rooms on this 10-acre property overlook bobbing sailboats in the recreational marina; others face onto the original kidney-shaped pool whose surrounding tiki torch-lit gardens offer shuffleboard and table tennis. You'll pay a little extra for bay and marina views; every one of the old rooms is the same size, with plain but well-maintained furnishings. The new rooms are bigger and feature water views and reclaimed redwood beam ceilings. Beaches and SeaWorld are a 15-minute walk away; there's also a complimentary shuttle that can take you to the theme park.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bikes; concierge; exercise room; 2 Jacuzzis; 2 outdoor heated pools; room service; spa services; marina w/watersports equipment/rentals
