overcooked breakfast needed redecorating

The hotel looked more worn than it did in the pictures. Some areas really needed redecorating so it did not feel like a special treat. I had dinner that was delicious. the breakfast was a huge disappointment. The sausage, bacon, and hash browns were overcooked (.. ) they were really not nice at all.
