Great family friendly hotel and walking distance to Sea World. Our kid loved the pool. The most relaxing vacation we have ever had. We will definitely be back!

Nice hotel, but not as nice as the price is high. $20/day parking. As mentioned a lot, the wall are extremely thin! Staff is friendly and good location.

Definitely eat at Firefly- amazing food! The Kobe burger and sea bass are awesome. Blue Pearl restaurant feels like a Denny's though.

The tropical pool has sand box for the kiddies and a bar for the oldies. Love this place!

The Dana is great for families! During the summer they have 'Dive-In' movies at the pool. And you can room service out there too!!

Great hotel if you have kids or are kid free. Walls are a little thin- but nothing you wouldn't expect from a hotel. Upgrade to the bay view - 110% worth it!

Great hotel. Similar to a Hawaiian Resort. Rooms are wonderful.

Concur...walls are thin. If you stay on the bottom floor, be prepared to deal with lots of nose if a shit ton of kids are above you. Otherwise, nice staff & great location.

Good place to stay if you are with your family. Not the greatest rooms I've ever stayed in, but I'm not complaining.

Rent a bicycle from the on-site rental facility and ride around the 14 miles of bike/run path along Mission Bay!

The tropical pool has a sand box for the kiddies and a bar for the oldies. Love this place!

Parking is hard to find if there's a wedding, spaces are for small cars too. Be ready!

Book the rooms with the views of the marina; it's worth the extra cost.

Enterprise has a service there through their PB office. They'll pick you up and take you to get a rental car, plus you can drop off the car at the hotel when you're done.

Good hotel, the major problem, parking costs U$ 20,00 a day

Great place to stay. Views are awesome

If you're planning your wedding here, the rib plate is the way to go. Truly delish!
Lisa RochesterApril 27, 2012
Live his location as long as you get a bay side room!
Peggy DolaneApril 18, 2014
Don't get a room facing the pool unless you like kids playing shamu all day.

Bikes are for rent here. They do not open until nine. Pity, while early moning temperatures are tempting for a ride.
Pedro MaestriApril 23, 2013
... Great hotel in a gorgeous place.

Tourist trap. Made me pay an extra $14 daily fee for a shuttle to sea world and gym that I didn't use. Should complain to the competent authorities.

Dated. The staff are nice.

The food at the hotel's firefly restaurant is excellent.

Nice grounds and atmosphere but 'Motel 6'-type rooms.

Watch SeaWorld's fireworks from the marina.

Firefly restaurant food was subpar and service was slowwww. Meat was dry but drinks were good.
Liz SApril 20, 2010
The walls are hella thin & a/c is a wall unit. Just saying.
👑 Jason WickerAugust 13, 2011
DO NOY STAY HERE. the rooms are like Motel 6, and not worth the rate. I'd suggest a Motel 6 - save yourself the money.
Minel OrduñoSeptember 16, 2015
Bueno,bonito y barato. Como cualquier hotel de USA vale la pena porque esta muy céntrico. Puedes mandar pedidos de Amazon y a diferencia de otros lugares ellos si te los entregan perfecto.
