My husband and I stayed 4 nights at The Dana and had a wonderful experience. We appreciated the free shuttle to and from the airport, cruise terminal, and Sea World.

Our family of four stayed here for two nights in July 2008. Based on other TripAdvisor reviews, we made sure we were on the newer side of the hotel.
