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.

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.

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!!

“BLOOD FROM 2 DAY OLD CRIME SCENE OUTSIDE DOOR AND THEY REFUSED TO MOVE ME” I stayed in the Hollywood Apartel from December 11th to December 14th. Upon check in, I was told a crime scene investigation would be taking place outside of my apartment door because of an incident two days prior. I asked if it was a murder and they refused to give me information. I was told there was blood on the floor outside the apartment and police still at the scene. I insisted to be moved to another unit and was told that would not be possible. When I attempted to reach reservations, the line was disconnected twice from Dmitri(?) hanging up and Nazan refusing to speak to me. After 40 minutes, I was only offered another apartment after a "last minute cancellation." I asked every team member I spoke with if they would live in this unit and they all said no. I am disappointed in the lack of concern for your guests comfort. Being that the incident happened two days ago, I should have been communicated well in advance so I could make plans accordingly.
