I'm not a fan of Heathrow Airport,especially when it comes to transiting and having to spend a night near the airport. The issue with Heathrow hotels is that the airport is so spread out, and a vast majority of Heathrow hotels aren't in any way connected to the airport or within walking distance. On top of that, and they don't ordinarily have shuttles. That means you're either stuck taking a taxi (which will piss off the driver given that they're hoping for a fare into the city) or wait on one of the Hotel Hoppa busses.
I'm also primarily loyal to Hyatt and Starwood. Hyatt doesn't have a presence near Heathrow,while Starwood has two properties -- the Sheraton and the Sheraton Skyline. The Sheraton is nearly comically bad, though at least is normally reasonably priced. The Sheraton Skyline is fairly kind, or though can be pricey on weekdays.
All of that is a tangent,because in this case I made the same decision I always achieve when departing out of Terminal 4. There's one hotel connected directly to Terminal 4, and that's the Hilton Heathrow. The walk between the terminal and hotel takes approximately five minutes, and so the benefit of that more than outweighs staying at a Starwood property. Of course that assumes you arrive or depart from Terminal 4,which I was doing in this case.
