Just stayed at the HR, but had meetings at the HP.
The HP is exactly as the OP said. Standard HP rooms, just new and shiny. The location is good for that side of the harbor.
However, the HP was more expensive than the HR this week.
And yes, the HR club was pretty blah, but the desserts (hazelnut chocolate cake, tiny apple pie, and tiny white cake with fudge were very good) this week.
