Here's the deal with Global Luxury Suites: It is a scam, pure and simple. It is a scam in that it presents itself as a hotel chain. It is run by a group of investors attempting to cash in on the Airbnb industry. But it is not a hotel chain nor is it really an Airbnb.
The people behind this scam have bought up or rented properties in apartment buildings throughout the U.S. and then they try to pass them off as "hotels." But they are not hotels. They are APARTMENTS. That's why when guests arrive they are often confused, as you can read in these reviews, because there is no signage in the way you'd find at, say, a Marriott or Hilton. There is no signage because Global Luxury Suites is not a hotel chain.
There is also no hotel staff on site; there are no cleaning people, no one to take your bags, no one to check you in, no front desk at all. Have a problem? Call a number and maybe someone will get back to you. Otherwise, you are on your own.
I know this because this insidious company has taken over various apartments in my building here in Boston, converting them, rather poorly, into hotel rooms. Not only is this a problem for the regular residents who live here, what with strangers coming and going at all hours, but it also adversely affects rents, pushing up local market rates.
Please, do yourself a favor ... do not fall for this scam. If you do, we all lose. read more
