While this place is not exactly a dump, the use of the word "Resort" in the title is a far stretch. I would argue the rooms here are "on par" with a Red Roof Inn. This is actually my second stay here in 15 years & I am sad to report that rooms have not changed since my last visit. Well... actually the musty smell in the rooms/building is new. The furniture is antiquated, the LCD TV is old and still receives analog broadcasts (fuzzy), and I am pretty sure I'm sleeping on the same exact innerspring mattress as last time! While the golf course is currently undergoing construction (they don't disclose this when booking), this hotel needs a minimum $20 million dollar investment to bring the rooms and amenities to modern specifications. In all, this hotel is in serious need for a renovation.

Update: After my first night trying to sleep, my wife and I were awoken by people talking and a baby screaming through paper thin walls. When expressing our concerns to the front desk, they were rude and offered no resolution. Even with the prospect of not having a hotel for the rest of our stay, we decided to check out.
