“Hotel Zena's White House-adjacent stay”
Hotel Zena is a clean, comfortable DC hotel near the White House — an amazing best-in-area location and lovely staff. The complaints are serious: a guest who left bags between two bookings reports an unbelievable incident on return; a Korean reviewer alleges worst service and creative billing — a promised dining credit was charged anyway, parking was billed twice for one car, and emails went unanswered while booking-site queries got instant replies; a 3pm check-in wasn't ready for thirty minutes with a toddler waiting; a private rooftop party blocked the pool and crowded the rooftop bar with non-guests; and the pool server was unfriendly with only alcoholic drinks stocked.
