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.

GBSorely Disappointed I recently stated at Ginosi Apartels (the weekend of July 21st) and the bang for the buck is HORRIBLE. When you first walk in you think everything is lovely but it is not until you get into your stay that you realize things are going to go south. The TV was just the tip of my unhappy iceberg. My stay at Ginosi Apartels was the most unpleasant experience for the value that I've ever had. The bed was so stiff that my neck, back, and shoulders hurt so bad. The sink drained slowly and was disgusting. The toilet ran every time you flushed it and didn't stop running all night long. The cable provider they contract out to only gives the customers 30 channels. 1-30...everything else is "unauthorized". We were right next to the gym so we could hear the people drop their weights at all hours of the night. Some employee of Ginosi Apartels came to our door the 2nd night we were there and questioned us about our reservation and if we were supposed to be in the apartment. That is unacceptably insulting. I'm so disappointed at having to spend such an exorbitant amount of money for what I got in return. They charge an unadvertised "cleaning fee" of $160.00. The customer service personnel are very nice and polite...UNTIL you have an issue. Once you have an issue, you can take it up with the manager who doesn't work weekends. The BEST thing about this place is the covered parking which is $30/night. And there is no other option but to park in the spot they have for you. That in itself has its pros and cons. Oh..and instead of leaving your keys in the unit like most places, you have to go back to the place you checked in at to return your keys.

CAWorst 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!

GBHorrible Experience. ***Checking-In*** When I got to the address that was given to me during booking the hotel/apartment (after driving 9hours), there was no clear explanation that I had to go down to check in at another office. If it weren't for the gentleman running the downstairs bar I would have been left in LA with no room at 12AM. So I finally figured out how to check-in through outside codes and getting buzzed in (there is no office that you can just walk into) after all this I get hit with major hidden FEES!!! ***Hidden Fees*** I booked the room through Hotels.com and not once was the hidden "cleaning fee" of $120. explained to me. Not until time of check in. That fee should be included in the booking reservation, meaning instead of advertising $130 a night it should be $250 a night so people know exactly what they are paying. Also, they charged me $20 a night for parking but when I got to the parking lot they were charging only $10 (overnight).... So my $320 reservation easily added up to $500 (two nights).... all the codes that were given to me to get in the building were wrong, I had to wait another 30mins to get in (myself by calling with instructions given to me over the phone as there is no one the site to help). ***Service*** Not to mention when it was time to check out (which clearly stated 11am) 10am house keeping was nocking at my door. Of course like any other hotel I said not ready, no big deal I thought.... Until the manager and house keeper showed up at 10:55 and stood out side the door hovering, making sure that my family and I were out by exactly 11:am as if we did something wrong. I asked if I could please have an additional 10-15mins to gather my stuff and I was told NO! With that being said the manager and housekeeper didn't even know any of the codes to get into room. So I had to help them get into the room they just kicked me out of! *Location- Great. *Rooms- Beautiful. *Checking in- Horrible and Confusing *Customer Service- The worst I've ever experienced. *Company/Price- Will trick you into thinking your getting a good deal but will charge you hidden fees anyway they can!

GBHi 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!!
