This lady's showin' her age. For a Hilton, it doesn't measure up. The rooms are decent, the desk was friendly, the bathroom is clean and updated but it's really not much more than a Hampton. As a Diamond HHonors member, I'm on the Executive level which helps, but not much. The breakfast is mediocre, but free.
At $200/night (non-corporate rate), keep driving.
If it matters, I stayed at the Crown Plaza at 44th and Washington and had a very similar impression.
