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!

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.

Hi I honestly worked for this crappy Hi I honestly worked for this crappy company and to be honest worst employers out there they were trash treated their employees like crap. I was a manager pretty much and got paid minimum wage honestly one of this most trahiest companies they didn’t even pay the housekeepers the right amount I freaking hated working here honestly my worst job probably I’ve had a lot of freakin jobs I hated it and quite and while I worked there people told me I was amazing and the face of this doodoo company cause everyone else who works there is literally negative and crappy at their job. The management doesn’t pay right and doesn’t know how to run a freakin company. To my all honest opinion I don’t think ginosi apartels should be a freakin open hotel thing cause their honestly terrible. Nothing is ever fixed and they depend on their employees To be managers not the managers themselves. Idk tbh horrible company ran by terrible people who don’t obvi give a crap about the people staying in or working for them!!

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.

a great away from home experience My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this apartment, Belltown. The bathroom, closet, kitchen, and bedroom was perfect. The unit came with a balcony with views of Downtown and the Space Needle. Past reviews claimed the neighborhood was bad. I can say we felt secure and had little trouble with homeless or additional trouble. Check in and out was SUPER easy. We enjoyed the rooftop common area for morning coffee drinks and even celebrated New Years with neighbors. Overall 5 out of 5 experience. As far as feedback we would have liked a softer bed and nicer bedroom blankets. Street parking was SUPER easy but would have preferred to park inside the building as there were plenty of spots in the garage and would have liked the option.
