The bathroom was quite filthy. The shower drain was plugged and there was long black hairs on the floor. The toilet had poop remains that were cleaned out. We ordered a dirty martini and espresso martini. The dirty martini was undrinkable and the espresso martini was very bad although I drank it. The restaurant foot was just ok. Great breakfast buffet including service.
