Sounds like for your purposes its a no brainer. HW has hot breakfast bar in the morning, manager's reception at night, 500 airline miles/stay, (unless you're a 50% HH points bonus type which I am when its over a couple nights stay). Dunno your status but you'd have a similar room if you were upgraded at ES but for more money I'm sure. I stay at a few HW when I'm meeting people and ask for the fireplace rooms, usually 2 BRs. Sometimes such a good deal that families bring the kids for a getaway for the pool, gameroom and breakfast buffet. Cheaper than taking them out and that makes it annoying. Just make sure the cookie plate is full.
