Yes. Zing is very gay friendly. No problem with boys either at the reception or at the restaurant. Staff is friendly rooms are clean, serviced every day and good value for money.
I stayed there twice and going again next January.
I think this Starbucks business model. People, including me and many students from the local University to work for several hours just buying one drink. They even provide large tables for people to work on.
Zing is very good and very gay friendly. I stayed there twice. I suggest you write and ask if they can give you a room away from the construction site.
