We arrived in Brunswick GA last night in a downpour. I had hoped to go out looking for fresh seafood or a restaurant with the word Tavern in its name. Instead we dined at the hotel restaurant. One of the bartenders was taking a shift as a server. She wasn’t overwhelmed. Nor was the bartender or cook. She told us she had been there since 9 months before they opened about 6 months ago. We watched a team meeting in the lobby as we headed to breakfast this morning. Lots of high spirits. We had a conversation with one while we ate. He likes his job. He likes the people he works with. He’s been there a week. I hope he’s still enjoying himself in a year.

Off topic, but this is the first combined Hilton Garden Inn / Home 2 Suites I’ve ever seen - 2 different wings of the same building.
