Horrible. Bus was delayed, no one spoke English, and I was not dropped off at the stated location. In addition, someone made me stay upon my arrival due to an unknown and could not explain to me the situation.

The staff never told us that our bus was going to be so late. We had to call them repeatedly and every time they gave us a new time
