Some staff were ok, most were not, especially the security officer at Richmond Virginia I approached him and asked a question, his response “you came all the way out here to ask me that the service counter is in there “ he was rude and unprofessional and unwilling to help. Service desk person was helping someone else and I needed to walk after sitting for a long period of time.

The drivers were going beyond the speed limit and is the reason we got to our destination early. The outlets didn’t work and the ac was turned off periodically during hot times.
