Breakfast Buffet only thing not to liking

The Breakfast Buffet changed to heated freeze dried eggs and bacon. The eggs looked like the plastic kind that kids get with their play kitchens and they had very little taste and were the consistency of rubber. The bacon was paper thin, looked like bacon imprinted on cardboard. The orange juice tasted like watered down Tang. Luckily the bread was real as was the butter for it.

Everything was ok except for the road noise and hearing everybody's conversation as they walked by. If town wasn't quiet from 9pm-5am this was have been horrible. Bed was comfortable. Bacon, eggs and sausage were good in the morning.
