There is a Holiday Inn and Doubletree just across the main road from the resort. He might want to check those. There is also a Hyatt Place just a bit beyond these two that we liked when we stayed there. You can sometimes land great deals at all of these. I don't know about breakfast at the three except the Hyatt Place did have a very simple breakfast each day.
These are all walking distance but you do have to cross a busy road. The Doubletree has a shuttle the last I heard.
