Hotel Zena Washington DC

Great location in DC

Food was wxcellent

It is both gay friendly and family friendly as guests varied widely from single business travelers to family vacationers. Staff was great all around, rooms were clean, bed was comfortable, linens were nice. The bathroom had this really cool, kind of tunnel shaped shower which made it fun yet practical. The hotel has a nice outdoor rooftop pool area that offers food and drink. While the food menu is appropriately limited, the offerings are diverse and food quality is good. My personal advice on room selection is that the junior King suite, for just a few dollars more, is really worth the difference in terms of additional space. I would however avoid rooms 1208, 1207 and 1209. While the views from there are awesome, these rooms are located directly below the pool deck and on nights when there is an event in the pool area, such as a movie night, it is extremely loud in the room right about the time you’d rather be going to sleep. That is the only negative comment I can make.

I used hotels.com to book and it was confirmed under my name- and

great staff....amzing room

Paying guest should be made aware that private parties are be held during their stay and that they are unable to use the pool. This is the whole reason we booked this stay and we didn’t even get to use the pool or roof top in the evening. Additionally, the party that was being held was a security disaster with anyone pretty much getting in the hotel and past security. Luckily, it was a safe event but I would yield causation in the future and do a better job at protecting paid guests security. We were told we wouldn’t be able to get to the pool with our key due to the private party. We could get to the 14th floor and “security” or people dressed as security were asking for us to scan our card to give them access to the roof, as well as random visits notably accessing floors as we went to our room. At one point, someone asked if I needed help and followed me to the room while I was by myself as a female and it was not a hotel personnel but some random strange who said they were there for the party. Even after the party we had no access to the roof till morning. Again, this was the whole reason we booked this location we not only were looking forward to the pool but also the night skyline from the roof. On a positive, I was locked out of the hotel in the middle of the night and staff got me back in the hotel.

Couldn’t enjoy the bar top to its fullest, being that it is a huge reason for people wanting to go there but they have roof top parties that invite people not lodging, which is understandable from a business perspective but not ideal if you’re trying to have night out that isn’t overly congested

Exceptional

The location, the design and the rooftop pool were great. The room was also very comfortable and the staff very friendly. I liked it all.

Everything is prfect in this hotel

clean and convenient

When we arrived at the hotel on Sunday 6/14 our room was not ready even though check in was at 3 pm. We had to wait with a toddler half hour until room was ready at 330. We then were told could not use the pool because there was a private event but that we could use the pool at the viceroy which was a 7 min walk. Very inconvenient for the money we paid and to walk with a toddler in that hot weather to use the pool at the viceroy was just terrible

Thanks

Very good

Excellent accommodations, modern and characterful. All staff were great to interact with and rooftop lounge was an extremely good way of relaxing after days in DC. Would highly recommend, my new go-to hotel in the area.

This stay was very disappointing. Aesthetically it was very disappointing. Everything looked worn and dingy.

Very good

The location and staff were great, and the concept of the hotel is cool. Disappointed with the room and the condition of the hotel in general. Quite a few things need to be replaced/ updated, rugs in the hall are full of stains, there’s was an awful egg smell on our floor and it just felt like the upkeep wasn’t there. We booked the hotel because we wanted to support a women-led concept stay, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

My stay was very satisfactory!!

Corner Rooms have great view
