Staff was amazing! Several lights in room didn’t work. You shouldn’t share a room with anyone you don’t want to be able to watch you shower in The shadow box style shower. Lots of stains throughout the property and it could be cleaner. The biggest upset for me was all of the add on “fees” and deposit. As a gold member I was able to request early check in (I knew there would be a fee). We also had a $25 Expedia gold credit. We also got 2 mixed drinks at the bar ($50 😮). With that being said the “fees” at check out were $275!!!!! That’s more than half of what I paid Expedia to book the room for the weekend. This is just dishonest pricing/ bait and switch, and even with as nice as the staff was I won’t book here again.

Loved our stay at Zena. The stay was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. We loved our room choice and are happy with the fact that we did the larger room. Inside the room, there were a couple of minor things (taped ceiling lights, scratched floors) that we noticed but it didn't affect our overall stay. The room was clean and we felt very comfortable. Would stay again!

Great boutique hotel located a few blocks from the metro. Close to White House. Friendly staff at reception. Yummy flavored waters offered at entrance. Beds were comfy although the pillows were a little too stiff for us. That’s just personal preference. Would definitely stay again.
