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.

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.

Very bad handling of the covid… Very bad handling of the covid situation. They were still accepting guests while only essential travel was allowed. And no sympathy for people who couldn't even get into the country of their booking due to flight cancellations. Would never book again.

Worst experience, bad ethics, do not book with this company! This company is not honest at all. I booked an appartment and had a really poor experience (see bellow). I posted a review and they will not publish it. Furthermore, you clearly see that the only google reviews are from the company itself. Here's the review I posted on their website: Next to the location, I have nothing positive to say about this company. 1. The checkin did not work. We were there before 6pm (which is still check-in time) but had to walk three blocks to get the key out of a key box. The code was not provided in advance so I had to call them. If you don't have a local cell phone that will be an expensive call! 2. We booked an appartment for three as I was travelling with two other friends. The appartment is listed for four people. But it only has one queen size bed. I slept on the couch. The sheets were not there and I had to look for them even if I paid the extra fee for the 4-people-appartment. There were also only 2 towels. 3. On booking.com it's listed as a cheap deal but there are lots of hidden costs. Everytime they charge you an extra of USD 120.- cleaning fees. In my point of view, it's a clear rip-off tactic they use and booking should ban them or not allow it. It's not listed transparently enough! 4. It was not very clean at all. Lots of crumbs on the couch and dust everywhere. The USD 120.- seem to be taken and just party invested in poor cleaning service.

Dodgy Charged me again for my stay 1 month after we had left!!! Still trying to get money back. They claim technical error and immediate reversal was processed... Nothing has been reversed on credit card, plus now additional overseas transaction added to credit card!! NOT HAPPY GINOSI!
