Greyhound Cleveland Washington recent customer reviews

I was disappointed in the Greyhound. For the amount of money I spent the facilities were not satisfactory. The outlets didn’t work and there was no WiFi, despite the sign. There was very little space and I was expecting better services. My driver also gave us all the information we needed after the bus left so there was a few discrepancies.

Many years since last being a passenger, and now disabled, the terminal staff was very attentive and accommodating without asking for help. The Driver was absolutely professional, and nice to the passengers, and went above for a passenger that missed her stop.
