"The Crystal Pier is perfect for vacationing families, groups of friends, and pretty much everyone else, too."
Fodor's
"Rustic little oases with a charm all their own, the cottages may lack some of the amenities of comparably priced hotels, but you're paying for character and proximity to the ocean."

"Reservations are essential for these 1927 Cape Cod-style cottages which sit directly on the pier. Many have kitchenettes, and patios with views of Pacific Beach."

"The Dana's private marina and location on Mission Bay makes it ideal for boating and water sport enthusiasts, as well as families."

Gayot
"The setting is a water lover's paradise, with more than ten tropically landscaped acres on a property in the midst of the San Diego's Mission Bay Aquatic Park."
Star Service
"Set in a gated lowrise compound of two- and three-story taupe buildings scattered about well-trimmed lawns and swaying palms, The Dana has a Dickensian vibe that brings to mind A Tale of Two Cities."
