There may be a leak in the hot water pipe somewhere "using up" the hot water. Without running any hot water for an hour, check to see if the water heater is on (if gas). You cannot tell if electric.
If it is electric, the lower element may be out leaving the upper element to only heat apx. 20% of the tank. Alternately, cut off the water supply to the heater and see if it heats up to full temp. When turning the water supply off, listen to see if you hear any water flow cutting off near closing of the valve. This would mean a leak for sure.
