Greyhound Fort Lauderdale Washington recent customer reviews

The Fort Lauderdale and Orlando Greyhound Stations were filthy. The bathrooms were filthy. The main area was filthy. The employees looked filthy and had zero enthusiasm. The other stops were much better as far as cleanliness and employee customer service. Also, the buses were filthy. They needed a good scrub in the bathroom and corners, areas which are normally overlooked stood out like a sore thumb because of it's unclean corners.
