There's only 18 one bedroom units - 10 on the ocean side and 8 on the mountain side. 4 of the units on the ocean side are lower floors 1 thru 4 - out of the 18, these sound to be the ugly ducklings. Ocean side floors 5 thru 10 would have nice/great views. Some HBK visitors have said that they prefer the mountain view over the ocean. I wouldn't expect a unit assignment until check-in day.
