Everyone is so helpful and friendly! The property is beautiful and in a good location. I love the shower—it's so cool! And the drinks and food at the bar were excellent. I especially enjoyed meeting Ronald, Malik, Shanaya (I'm not sure if that was spelled correctly ), and Baltazar. I have been to this hotel a few times, and it is one of my favorites.

4/10 Fair

Don’t believe the hype

Stayed at lots of hotels “Oh there’s a $40 a day guest amenities fee” What? For cheap water and a gym. The in and out valet fee was nice. But fur an average of $280 a night. I can do better.
Ed, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I asked to extend d my stay and was told to come down and they wouid issue a new key - when I went down they had no record of that and I had to scramble and find a new hotel — I asked twice if she had it in computer answer was yes — called at 7am the day before departure ..

Hotel Zena Experience

The staff was friendly and the hotel was clean. The only disappointing thing I experienced was that I had a hotel credit on food and drinks upon my arrival that I was not informed about when I checked in during my 3 night stay. I did have a meal at the restaurant during my stay but did not charge it to my room. I was not alerted about the credit until I was checking out and did not have time to use the credit as I was headed to a meeting where breakfast was provided.
Shannon, 3-night trip
