Go ahead, shoot, I'm listening, and maybe the folks at Hilton corporate in McLean are too.

Speaking of Corporate over in McLean, the McLean Hilton two doors down from them is actually a nice weekend place when the rates are low. I would never recommend it for someone visiting DC, but those of us Virginians such as myself who pop up to NoVa for the weekend, its a nice stay. No its, not a Waldorf or Conrad, but its a nice Hilton.
