Explain the difference to me in a 2 person whirlpool bath and 2 person hot tub?

I am looking for a hotel in the Houston area for my husband and I to get away for a night. I am wanting a room that has a 2 person "tub" in the room. One reasonable hotel has a couple of rooms that I am confused about. One says a 2 person whirlpool-in bath and the other says it has a 2 person hot tub. Is it meaning that the whirlpool bath is in the bath room and the hot tub is in the room? I am thinking that is what it is meaning. Someone please help me with this.

Also, if you know of a reasonably price (less that $130) that has a nice in-room hot tub in north Houston or Humble, let me know!

Last thing, if you know of anything we could see while we're in Houston, let me know that too! We get tired of shopping!

Thanks to all who reply!!!

I think that technically, a "whirlpool bath" is a bathtub with jets that you would have in your bathroom and fill with the faucet like a normal bathtub(you can just turn on the jets with a button). A "hot tub" is what you typically see outside next to the pool or inside a spa. However, I think that most people use these terms interchangeably. SO, if a hotel room mentions a "whirl pool" or "hot tub" in the room...they typically mean "whirl pool" and it will be in the bathroom.

However, it would be cool to have a hot tub by the bed! I bet there are some places like that in Vegas! :)

Enjoy your trip to Houston. The arboretum there is nice...plus they have a great ballet and the Alley Theater is wonderful.

Hope this helps(and was clear!). Happy Travels.

The hotel should have a number,so call and ask to be sure.
