GBVery bad handling of the covid… Very bad handling of the covid situation. They were still accepting guests while only essential travel was allowed. And no sympathy for people who couldn't even get into the country of their booking due to flight cancellations. Would never book again.

GBDo NOT book Ginosi If I could give zero stars I would. I reserved 3 nights at one location. I was not informed upon check in that they had moved my building location. The new building did not have the amenities I booked. The next morning I received an email saying they couldn’t accommodate my entire stay and had to relocate me again. The next building had even less amenities than the first location they put me. It wasn’t even the room type I booked. Both nights we didn’t sleep because of the noise. It was so bad. Not to mention how hard the beds are. We left and don’t stay the third night. They refunded about half of the amount of the third night. Overall I will never ever book with this place ever again. I highly advise everyone else not to also. It was the very worst experience I’ve ever encountered traveling. I was traveling with my 18 month old and had to unpack and repack everything every night when all I wanted to do was stay in one location and enjoy swimming with my boy. That never once happened. And all they give me is a the run around that all they can offer is a partial refund for the inconvenience they cause.

GBThe most incredibly awful company I've ever dealt with I had a confirmed reservation email which said the instructions to get the keys would be sent within 5 days before the reservation. Reservation was for next day, so I called their office which is in eastern Europe, ignore the local US number on their website, it's misleading. My reservation was again confirmed, I was told I'd get the instructions on how to get the keys for the place later that day. Just before midnight, I received a cancellation email saying the reservation has been cancelled! Called them up this morning and they tell me my payment was declined, and all apartments are now booked! My credit card is fine, my credit card company didn't contact me to let me know there was an attempted charge on my account which they blocked which would be the only explanation given they process payments in eastern Europe. Seems like they had no availability for this 'Confirmed Reservation' and decided to cancel for a make believe payment processing issue. Any self respecting company would contact the customer before cancelling if there was a payment processing issue. Please, please stay as far away from this company as you can, literally the worst, most misleading scam artists I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Will be monitoring my credit card activity closely as I see some unauthorized charges in my future after giving these people my details... Avoid like the plague.

GB“BLOOD FROM 2 DAY OLD CRIME SCENE OUTSIDE DOOR AND THEY REFUSED TO MOVE ME” I stayed in the Hollywood Apartel from December 11th to December 14th. Upon check in, I was told a crime scene investigation would be taking place outside of my apartment door because of an incident two days prior. I asked if it was a murder and they refused to give me information. I was told there was blood on the floor outside the apartment and police still at the scene. I insisted to be moved to another unit and was told that would not be possible. When I attempted to reach reservations, the line was disconnected twice from Dmitri(?) hanging up and Nazan refusing to speak to me. After 40 minutes, I was only offered another apartment after a "last minute cancellation." I asked every team member I spoke with if they would live in this unit and they all said no. I am disappointed in the lack of concern for your guests comfort. Being that the incident happened two days ago, I should have been communicated well in advance so I could make plans accordingly.

GBUNDISCLOSED $120 CLEANING FEE AND NO CANCELLATIONS ALLOWED Ginosi Apartments showed up as the best Seattle hotel rate on Expedia at $69 dollars per night. I booked a 2 night reservation and the next day I discovered that I had been billed $282. The reason provided was an undisclosed $120 cleaning deposit, which more than doubled the nightly rate. If Ginosi Apartments wants to charge $140 per night, they are welcome to do so. But ... Spoofing a lower rate, and concealing an exorbitant cleaning deposit in the fine print, while not allowing cancellations, demonstrates a very obvious desire to deceive. This business can't be trusted and I would caution any potential customers to avoid using a card that does not have fraud prevention. When they claim that the cleaning fee is disclosed in the "terms and conditions" fine print of the rental agreement, it may provide legal cover, but it does not conceal the intentional misrepresentation their rates, an intent that their "no cancellations" policy clearly demonstrates. ---------------------- Reply to Sean, Saying you are "sorry" and then blaming me for not finding a ridiculous $120 cleaning charge hidden in the terms and conditions is not an apology. Your no-cancellations policy combined with the hidden fee is a clear indication of your intent. If apartments have needs beyond hotel rooms then be honest and RAISE YOUR RENTAL RATES.
