How rude!! I travel to L.A. frequently, probably twice a month, and I've been looking for new options of places to stay. I found Ginosi Apartels on Hotel.com. and it looks terrific. I had a few questions so I called the number listed on your Hotel.com website. Here's how the conversation went: Me: Hi, can you tell me how close you are to the Palladium? Clerk: What?!?! Me: Can you tell me how close you are to the Palladium? (5 seconds of silence) Me: The theater on Sunset? (several more seconds of silence, I thought he was looking it up on line) Me: Hello? (several more seconds of silence) Clerk: Click. Wow! Really rude. I'm bummed because I thought this place might be one of my homes away from homes. But, if the reservations/front desk is so rude they cannot even carry on a simple conversation, I assume that the rest of the staff is also less than professional and pleasant.

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.

If I could give a negative star I… If I could give a negative star I would! My room was absolutely disgusting! There were stains on the carpet the smell of weed or cigarettes I could barely sleep! The picture of the room was completely false advertisement it looked nothing like what my confirmation had shown. To top it all off I went to return the key and there was nobody at the building all doors were locked I waited 20 minutes with my Uber and almost missed my flight the customer care representative on the phone told me to leave the key ag the door which I followed her instructions I later got charged $200 for a key deposit!!! Complete scam!! I will never book with them and do not recommend them to my worst enemy.

Worst stay of my life Walked into my room and found a man and woman who just had sex on my bed I payed for. Apparently they were all booked that night so I couldn't switch to a new room. I shared the futon with another 30 year old man.The next day they had some available so when I went to go switch rooms, the guy I saw in my room the night before turned out to be an employee. It took almost two weeks to get anything done about it. They offered me 80$ gift card to (external reference), and 10% off my next stay. Of course I will never stay again and I hope nobody else does either. I'm disgusted in so many ways. DO NOT STAY AT A GINOSI APARTMENT!

Poor / terrible LA Apartment I recently stayed in a Ginosi apartment at 6533 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. We stayed in apartment 111 from 1st - 4th August. I have a number of issues that I would like to bring to your attention and feel you need to know about: 1. The apartment was spacious and airy however it had a terrible smell to it which resulted in us not wearing many of our clothes at our next destinations due to the smell that had got on the clothes from hanging in the wardrobe. It was stale and horrible! 2. The downstairs bar / night club having extremely loud music playing until the early hours of the morning resulted in us getting no sleep until it had closed. On one evening, the rooms and walls shook with the bounce of the music. This was completely unacceptable and not what you expect from a place you are paying to stay. 3. The cleanliness of the apartment lacked a lot to be desired especially when we were charged $120 cleaning fee. The floors were filthy and the bathroom had long hairs in the bath, shower and toilet from previous usage. The rim around the shower tiles was also clogged with dust as if it hadn't been cleaned for months. I feel this fee should be refunded at least as it wasn't clean. 4. Emails to the company to ask questions weren't replied to and still haven't been. 20.08.2016 2ND- REVIEW POST! MU REPLY TO THE GINOSI REPLY TO MY REVIEW: AFTER SIX DAYS FROM THE GINOSI RESPONSE I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THE RESERVATIONS TEAM REGARDING MY PARTIAL REFUND. I HAVE SENT NUMEROUS EMAILS AND AM BEING RUDELY IGNORED! I CAN ONLY THINK THE INITIAL KIND RESPONSE SYMPATHISING WITH NY ISSUES AND OFFERING A PARTIAL REFUND WAS JUST LIP SERVICE TO FOOL PEOPLE READING THIS REVIEW PAGE INTO USING THIS COMPANY. IT SEEMS THAT THIS SO CALLED COMPANY IS SHAMBOLIC AND CLEARLY DOESNT CARE ANOUT ITS CUSTOMERS AND MAKES FALSE PROMISES AND RUDELY IGNORES THEM. WE WERE HAPPY TO ACCEPT A PARTIAL REFUND BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING. I EXPECT A PROMPT RESPONSE OR I WILL HE TAKING THIS MATTER FURTHER!
