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.

“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.

Sorely 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.

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

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.
