Just a great place to stay! the staff were kind, friendly and efficient. The room was super clean and the hotel itself was convenient to parking, restaurants and monuments/museums! There is parking across the street which is more reasonable, overnight available and 6'8" clearance! Also, eat at the Lincoln restaurant just a couple blocks away,,you will NOT be disappointed! Highly recommend Hotel Zena! We'll be back! Thank you Ezekiel and staff!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The front desk people were lovely, bed comfortable. I really didn’t appreciate however that they slapped on $70 extra in “amenities fees”” with no warning from Expedia. The breakfast options were pricey and served by lackluster folks in plastic and paper containers. Kind of noisy on my floor and I could have done without the massive rbg portrait in tampons in the restaurant. All in all I would not return.

VIP should have included more perk instead of a simple credit to use at a meal. A couple of the fresh towels had left over guest hair in the fibers.
