Is there anything more unique / fun about this HP (given downtown location), compared to standard suburban HPs?

Know HR is an option but would prefer north of the river.
I assume you are referring to the downtown HP. The full-service breakfast is much better at the Driskill of course, and there's a great (but crowded) bar, and 6th Street is literally right outside the front door. But the HP's location is fine as well, with all of the usual HP accoutrements.

If it were the same price I'd say Driskill for sure, and for 1-2 nights I'd probably still say that, but if it's a longer stay than the HP might be the better play for you.
