So I went camping/rafting this past weekend, at this "resort":

http://www.thorntonsresort.com/


I checked the website last week before we left, and I was appalled at how ugly 
it was.  It is really just god awful, and reminds me of some of the first 
websites from years and years and years ago.

After going there, though, I realized this may actually be the best way for 
them to tell you what kind of establishment it is.  The place was a hole in the 
wall.  The bus (that they let us drink on) that drove us to the river *barely* 
made it (there were times we were rolling backwards down hills listening to the 
engine struggle).  The bathrooms were out of soap and a lot of the fixtures 
didn't work.  When we checked in, the guy was so trashed he pretty much told us 
to drive around until we found Site G-7, cause he couldn't remember where it 
was.

So the question is - should their website be just as shitty to present this 
image?  Would a decent looking site with normal navigation and not overloaded 
with stupid clipart/backgrounds be misleading?  Should the look get a little 
better, and the information presented more clearly, but be given text like: 
'rustic', 'laid back', 'real shit-hole'?
