Washington S. Dillon Ripley Center Hotels

"Perfect location and clean room. Slept like a baby every night. Just wished they had more variety in the breakfast buffet, it seemed like they had the same thing every day. "

"We stayed for 3 nights in April in a ‘King-bed with a city view’ room. The room was spacious, clean and the bed very comfortable. The hotel was in a great location - about 15-20 mins walk to the White House and 8-10 minutes walk to a metro stop. This made getting around Washington DC easy. Unfortunately the rooftop bar and pool were not open as this is seasonal. Breakfast wasn’t included in our room rate so we only had breakfast at the hotel on one morning. It was delicious but expensive (compared to other DC restaurants we ate in). The only thing that we were disappointed by was the additional daily $35 "amenities fee” which we were told covered the cost of wifi access and in room tea, coffee and water which was replenished on request. This is something most hotels of this caliber provide as standard. Overall we had a great stay at Zena and would recommend the hotel - just be aware of the additional daily tax."

"Great location. Cool vibe. Clean. Nice staff close to metro and more"

"Had high hopes for this new to me hotel. Sadly for the price I didn't see the value: walls were thin; black out shades were not cut to size leaving large gaps for light; coffee pot was broken; electrical sockets didn't work - leaving my phone uncharged and me on short power for a very long day in the city; promises of an Arlo yoga mat went unfulfilled when the house keeping member handed me additional coffee pods and said "we don't have the mats." There's great potential, but not sure I'll return given the multiple shortcomings."

"The location was great for our stay to visit a few museums in the city. We also took a preteen and teenager with us and this was a great family environment. The breakfast buffet was awesome and the staff members were very friendly and ready to assist!"

"This hotel felt like a far cry from the luxury and amenities we expect at a JW Marriott. The king room was very small and the bathroom was comparable to a Courtyard Marriott. For the price we paid ($600 per night) we expected that every room would be outward facing the city, but no, our view was inward facing the other side of the hotel (no view whatsoever). The breakfast buffet was also subpar. For $27 per person we expected a lot more options--at least pancakes and waffles--but there were none. Pancakes had to be ordered from the menu for an additional charge. While the staff were very friendly and helpful, this hotel, for being a JW Marriott, was a disappointment."

"Loved the room at first. It was like a small apartment. Good location and very comfy. We left for a few hours. Where we returned our room was 85 degrees! Like a sauna! The heat was turned on full blast throughout the building. The front desk apologized, but said there was nothing they could do. We slept, sweating, with the windows open. Not acceptable."

"Clean room, very nice hotel and staff"

"The only complaint is that the rooms are so small if you have 2 bed and 2 suitcases Otherwise everything is fantastic"
