D Roch Rank

The Dana on Mission Bay Dog Friendly Review

The Dana on Mission Bay scored a disappointing D Roch Rank. While the location is promising, the dog friendly offerings fall short. Most rooms welcome dogs, but they’re restricted to the room, which means no bar, restaurant, or patio access. Leaving your dog alone in the room isn’t an option, adding a layer of inconvenience for those hoping to explore without their four-legged friend.

The $40 per night fee is steep, especially considering the limited amenities. While the Dana for Dogs Arrival Kit includes a keepsake water bowl, treats, and a list of dog friendly spots, essentials like beds aren’t provided, so pack your own. The lack of a garden or dedicated dog space on-site is a letdown, though nearby parks offer some relief for walks.

On the plus side, there are no weight restrictions, and up to two dogs per room are allowed, which is a win for owners of larger breeds. However, the absence of dog-sitting or walking services means you’re on your own for pet care. The hotel’s policy of potentially charging for damages or excessive cleaning adds an extra worry.

In summary, while The Dana on Mission Bay offers some dog friendly features, the high fees and restrictions make it less appealing for a truly enjoyable stay with your canine companion.

This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
