Wife and I picked Zena based on price, rating and pictures. We were not disappointed. Hotel was conveniently located within walking distance of the Mall and the museums. Hotel and rooms were very clean, update and contemporary. Service was amazing - the manager left a bottle of Prosecco in our room to celebrate our anniversary. We had an amazing experience.
