One tip on room requests......corridors are LOOOOONG! ask for a room near an elevator!
Ah but then it's NOISY. We had that situation during our one stay at HRH; especially bad because there was a huge car dealer convention at the time.
I think that having the two teens with you will help you like it more. I just had the then-8 year old, and there just wasn't enough to make us love it, or even like it. The convention caused the whole pretty front reception-y area of the lobby to be entirely blocked off during our stay (they were putting up the big curtains as we checked in, and were taking them down as we left) so a big pretty part of the hotel that I'd seen (when we pool-hopped from PBH during a previous stay) was gone.
If we'd had some teens with us that might have brought some energy to the stay, that might have been different.
But I don't know. We had sugar ants in the room (which they took care of promptly once I realized they weren't just going to go away), we had to completely unmake our bed because the egg crate cushion* was heading south, causing a big dip where our pillows were and in doing that we discovered that the beds weren't attached to the wall or the headboard and the bed kept moving and our pillows were sliding back...there was too much empty space and not enough usable space in the room, and they used different toiletries than we'd had at RPR and PBH, and the smell made them impossible for me to use (I'm highly sensitive).
If those things wouldn't bug you, don't let my negative review of the place bug you! We loved, and I have said we loved, RPR and PBH, and now that we got our obligatory HRH stay out of the way, we'll go back to loving those places. But maybe you guys won't have a convention, will see the pretty view of the pool as you walk in, will hae a different room, will have a room just far enough down the hall to not have the noise but just close enough so your feet won't hurt from walking back to the room, etc etc.
Always pay attention to WHAT people are complaining about. If those things don't bug ya, then don't worry about it!
RPR is the smallest standard room. It works fine for my family of 3. It probably wouldn't work well for your family.
*I thought it was a proper mattress thingie until we undid the bed and found the old-looking egg crate foam instead.
