Breakfasts - universally a sad experience

Breakfasts at hotels are so subpar, I don't get how it's even a selling part. Sure, I'm not staying in $300/night establishments, but generally between $150 and $250.

Everywhere I go, it's scrambled eggs (not too bad), something they call sausage, usually link, some air extruded product that looks like it came from the back end of an animal, maybe sweetened with maple flavor with a disgusting texture, waffles, cereal or fruit.

It's just a sad sad experience.
