Yes. And, I would add GH Atlanta Buckhead to that list as well.
The thing about these properties is that they will do the little things that a lot of HRs by and large don't do (i.e. folded towels on every treadmill, stocked supplies such as razors in the gym bathroom; have a car service; have the NYTimes; actually have a porter ready to help you with luggage). In my experiences, I have never had a special request take more than 5 minutes to be taken care of at a GH. Too many times at HR's, its taken
hours for someone to bring something up the room.
If I was staying just one night, it probably doesn't matter between a GH and HR. But if I am staying for a week, I'd rather be at a GH (except NYC of course)
