dated room and breakfast issues

dated room awful breakfast

my room was quite dated. the bathroom mirror had missing sections, and the bath showed markings. the mattress felt too soft, and i kept ending up in the middle of the bed. breakfast included bacon that was like cardboard, and one of the sausages tasted awful.
