Horrible 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!

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.

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.

Amazing experience We just loved this Place! Travelling With Our 3 youngest Girls, 10, 12 and 16 years old this was Perfect, clean, big Apartment With everything we needed during Our 10 days vacation. the gym and the pool was perfekt, Short way to Universal Studio and all the typical Things you wanne visit as tourist and a big shoppingcenter, Wax Museum, Theater etc 2 minutes away. We are coming back, that's for sure

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.
