Kim, Linda(?) & one other bartender need customer service training, imo. All 3 were challenging in their demeanor. The only other downside was the uncovered smoking areas. Non-smoking was covered, smoking was NOT, which is important because it rains almost daily in Sarasota. Oh, the breakfast spread was great!"
