How 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.

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!

Terrible experience. My apartment was not *at all*as it had been described. It was dark and up against a (loud) construction site, and because of that I could never put the shades up. I was concerned, as a woman traveling alone, that the apartment was not safe as there was easy access to the balcony in an empty alleyway next to the construction site. But that wasn't the worst of it. The worst part was that there was a raging all-night party in the apartment upstairs and there was NO SECURITY in the building. Even after I called the office, the party raged on until 4am!!!! I decided to check out the next day because I did not want a repeat of the night before. I explained exactly why I was checking out. Ginosi assured me they would get back to me right away, but after 5 days and a few phone calls I still had not had the decency of any response. Finally I called today and their response to this incident was to offer 10% off my next stay. Seriously? That is not the best Ginosi can do. This company clearly does not care about their guests or their experience.

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!
