I've had a corner room both times we've been to POR.
As lovely as they are, remember that in order to enjoy those windows you have to have the drapes open. Which means that your room is open to anyone who passes by. That always makes me very uncomfortable, so as lovely as the rooms are, the windows end up totally ignored by me.
Know your personality. If it'll bother you like it bothers me, that taking advantage of the prettiness of the windows means letting anyone look in as they walk by, maybe don't bother with the request.
