After a quick glance at rates I think I'll be doing a points booking regardless of the hotel we choose. I guess all four HRs are technically in play, as well as the HP Galleria, but I'll assume that the two HRs in the thread title are the ones to focus on. Pretty agnostic to location as we'll stay at the hotel mostly and on the occasional trips to see friends it'll probably be all over the map anyway (Woodlands, Downtown, Bellaire) So main emphasis is on quality of hotel/rooms and elite benefits. Thanks!! Considering the points booking, hoping to decide before peak pricing kicks in.
I can only speak for the HR Galleria which we'll be staying at for the 3rd time in a couple of weeks to visit my MIL who lives nearby. It's a nice location and hotel; friendly staff. Last visit, earlier this year, as Glob lite at the time, we were given a suite upgrade and they even brought us some treats which was a nice gesture. The lounge was closed and it most likely still is. However, they let us order breakfast from the lobby cafe; no limit on coffee or items within reason. Also, we aren't a young family but I'm guessing the galleria and lots of eateries nearby would be a good place to take the kids. You can also check on museums in each area.
