    ...I ended up having to downgrade my room because of a miscommunication, and when I arrived, Dayshea felt like that was unacceptable. She immediately gave me my original room back and compt my incidentals fee... I called a Lyft, but got locked out of my room... For some reason my room key didn’t work to my door and because of that my Lyft left me... Ezekiel felt awful about my room key not working, and my Lyft , pulling off, as I was now late for the show that I had booked the room to come see (Shangela’s Fully Lit Tour)...

I also never got the text message they are supposed to send to request your car back when you need it so when I needed it, it was a hassle, no one knew where the car was til minutes later, and it was just a huge pain to explain the issue every single time I needed the car.. again especially for the price of $51 a night PLUS tax...

    ...However, the price is very high considering how cheaply every piece of the rooms are put together- broken toilet, crinkly linens, loud pipes, it’s all one wrong move from breaking. There are lots of back-ended fees, like valet $50/night and amenities $25/night, that make the stay seem like it’ll be cheaper than it is... Ticket price doesn’t match final bill, and overall much more like a 2.5-3 star hotel experience...

This location is very near to downtown offices (I was able to walk to my office near Franklin Park in under 10 minutes) and to Metro Center station which was convenient for access to further parts of the City not within walking distance...

This is not my first time here I only come to this at this Hotel Zena only because this bartender name Brand serves the best drinks in a timely manner and his attitude is so positive sending positive vibes and energetic... I am sold by this place because of the service that Brand provides... Bartender brand has proved my friends and I high top quality service I think Brand deserves a several bonuses and a raise...

    ...However, once I arrived at Hotel Zena, a wonderful young lady named Dayshea not only listened to my complaints and my concerns, but she also immediately remedied the situation... She immediately gave me my original room back and compt my incidentals fee... She really made me feel heard and I super appreciate that... I called a Lyft, but got locked out of my room... By then, Dayshea got off work, but I was introduced to Ezekiel and Geta both were very kind and very knowledgeable... Ezekiel went above and beyond to make the stage situation right... He literally cash apped me money for a new Lyft and told me to enjoy my evening... He apologized for the inconvenience fixed my room key and sent me on my merry little way... This is not my first day at Hotel Zena but it is the first time that I’ve stayed here and had any complications, and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the staff here came to my rescue!... Again thank you so much to Dayshea, Ezekiel and Geta for making my stay here so pleasant once again... This is truly a home away from home for me and I will absolutely be returning and booking in the near future...

When we got there our valet was extremely courteous and professional he carried our bags up to our room and refused another tip for doing so... He explained how the valet service works and makes sure I was clear... At check out Berkeley L was fresh, fun, energetic, and professional... Another gentlemen (didn’t catch his name) that checked us in understood our anniversary plans changed when he saw our two children and gave us a free upgrade to accommodate our stay!!... Hotel please check who the gentlemen was and share our gratitude... To add, Marcy, Long, and Brand also went above and beyond!!!... Trin who helped to host the hair braiding for daddy daughter day generally cared about our stay and was very friendly...

The staff were thoughtful, acknowledging my birthday with complimentary glasses of champagne for my bf and I, along with a cute, velvet dog bed, large porcelain bowl, toy and treat for my doggo/traveling companion... The morning staff at brunch were equally wonderful and the food was delicious!... Our room was clean and very modern and chic... The fun neon light options and the unique shower were a fun bonus...

    From the deep soaking tub in our room to the pink felt pool table in the lounge, my husband and I enjoyed our time far more than we expected... The Zena was much more than that, with great spaces for winding down outside of our room, including generous cocktails at Figleaf where you can play pool and reconnect with your inner child on a giant Lite Brite... We will definitely be back when the rooftop lounge and pool are open!... Ask for a room with a deep soaking tub and bring your bubble bath...

My room was spotless and furnished in a modern uncluttered style with sufficient wardrobe and drawer space... I loved the large shower with a curved wall design that gave a wet room experience without water spilling into the main bathroom area... The bar serves breakfast and dinner...

I was invited here after staying at the sister property Viceroy down the street and I must say I was equally impressed. Clean rooms, welcoming stay, great food and a lot of art. So much beautiful art. The lobby had games and a picture booth…. Really a picture booth like the entire time there me and my friends couldn’t stop taking pictures and vibing to the lobby music. I now have me two go to hotels and DC and it helps there ran by the same company.

Hotel ZENA is a nice place to stay. The clean, modern and creative decoration along with friendly and warm staff will certainly contribute to a memorable stay. The rooftop which is equipped with a pool in summer and beautiful scenery of DC in winter both seems like a perfect place for relaxation and event planning. An open bar and a snooker table in the lobby add a unique touch to stay.

This is one of the best hotels in Washington DC. When I first walked in, I was greeted by really kind and gentle people at the front desk. The roof top view was excellent, and I could see the end of DC, additionally, during the summer, the swimming pool is open to chill and relax. The staff were the best and always treated us with respect and care.

We stayed at Hotel Zena during our first family visit to DC. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with a great view! We were within walking distance to key attractions and everyone we spoke to at the hotel was friendly and helpful. Our kids loved eating breakfast at the restaurant, Figleaf. We all enjoyed the art throughout the hotel. Truly unique and memorable experience for all of us. We know we'll be back at Hotel Zena next time we're in DC!
