GBTerrible 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.

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.

GBHow 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.

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.
