I've stayed at the HR IAH (it was a plain Hyatt when I was there) and you definitely don't want to wander around the area at night.
If I'm ever over-nighting again at IAH I might try the HP just to pick up another property for Milestones, but otherwise the HR was quite decent and worth paying more for.
