Ground floor room right on the pathway for others to walk by very close to the room, not as private as I expected. Ocean view was nice. The room showed wear, missing sink stopper. As a condo, we expected a little more in the way of amenities, for example, strange that there were no dishes or cutlery for meals. Just a little under standard. Check in staff were very nice .
