Terrible experience I stayed at 1111 Wilshire, managed by Ginosi Apartments. My family experienced many issues on the property, including the following (taken from correspondence to the apartment manager): - Hidden Parking Costs - When I booked our stay here, I read that there was limited on-street parking and we had the option of getting a space for $30, but what I learned at your leasing office is that there was NO overnight parking, so obviously I had no choice but to purchase a space for two nights. Avoiding this cost went into the choice of your property versus another. - Lack of proper bedding - When we arrived, we did not have full bedding for the cot and the futon. I had to call your office twice, the first individual saying that they would get back to me (they did not), the second individual saying they could get what I needed but I had to come pick it up because they were the only one in the office. Completely unacceptable that I had to get in my car and drive to get the rest of our bedding. - Quality of larger bed - I have found the quality of the mattress to be less than acceptable. My wife and I can actually feel the springs. It did not make for a good night sleep. - Lack of kitchen amenities - While I realize that most of your guests may not touch the kitchen, I have found the number of glasses and the lack of dish washing liquid or a scrubber brush less than acceptable. - Locks on door - This may not be helped and may only amount to a suggestion, but in comparison to a hotel, to have one single solitary keyed deadbolt without an additional chain or additional bolt that only I have access to on the inside was unsettling and did not give me a sense of security for my family. -In general, we don't find the apartment to be ultra clean and we just discovered the lack of a bath mat. -When using the toaster, I noticed there was a small electrical short that was making a spark. I immediately turned it off. I suggest you get rid of it before someone gets hurt. - Last night, we discovered broken porcelain or glass behind a chair in the corner of the room. See the attached photo. There was also a small shard on the chair which I discovered first. - We are leaving all dirty dishes in the dishwasher, which we could not run given the lack of detergent. After writing this, I was offered a $60 discount to cover the parking fees, nothing more. I expressed that because of our experience I felt that we should have paid half as much as we did. I was then told that $60 off would be all they would offer. I never accepted. I would think twice before staying at any property operated by Ginosi Apartments.

Good value, nice building I stayed at the Ginosi Metropolitan Apartel. I was at first skeptical after reading all the bad reviews on here, but I am happy that I actually went for it. The building was clean, the location is very close to the walk of Fame stars and the view over Hollywood was just fantastic. There was no daily cleaning but that didn't bother me at all. It felt like it was my home and that is not a feeling one easily gets at hotels.

UNDISCLOSED $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.

The 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.
