You're in a similar spot to me. Not crazy about Ginza. Enjoy stumbling around the area of my hotel after some drinks and Ginza would just be boring for that. The only thing still keeping me at HC is the quality of rooms looks quite a bit higher and a subway ride back wouldn't be the end of the world. Still really tempted to move to the GH since there's a 0% chance of a points room opening on that Saturday night.
edit: After looking at some videos the rooms at GH look to be in pretty good shape. Maybe not as new but not as big of a gap as I thought. Went ahead and moved to GH. Ginza just doesn't do it for me.
