Just as a data point, before they converted the HIX it was previously just treated as a separate wing of the 4Pts, and before that I don't know. Unless they have drastically refurbished the rooms at the HIX during the past year or so (which I doubt since it just opened as a HIX a couple of years ago), the rooms at the 4Pts win hands down.
I have actually stayed at both over the past 2 years and can say that the HIX is better--not just the room & lobby, but the location is way better than the 4Points. I'm glad you had a good stay, though. It's promising.
