Elaw, Did room 6123 have a regular open balcony, or did it have thicker "wooden" slats instead of the metal spires that more or less block your view when sitting? Looking at a picture i see of that corner, it looked like it wasn't a dormer balcony, but also wasn't the regular easy to see through when sitting balcony either. I think I am waaaay over thinking this, especially since it seems out chances of getting one of the 2 or 3 rooms I am requesting are not that high
I requested 4123, 5123, or 6123 for open balcony inner courtyard view, but wondering about 6123 actually being open balcony. I hate to have to stand to see anything, IMO it nearly ruins the point of the balcony except for pictures and just quick trips out to enjoy the view. we don't hang out or eat on the balcony if we can't see while sitting, and it makes the room darker. I am wondering if I should add a second choice of open balcony upper floor south wing so we have a better unobstructed view of the EWP, or if I should just leave it as is so they don't just give us our second choice since it is easier (a few more room options). See what I mean, over thinking??
ETA We did book a deluxe room, which I mentioned in my original post but not here when I replied. Just to clarify.
