My candidate for Worst Excuse for a Hilton Lounge was one in Seattle (I believe). This was years ago but clearly it was a regular room that they attempted to set up as a lounge. No open bar, pitiful snacks, and people were practically sitting on top of each other.
You can add the Capitol Hilton in DC to list of bottom tier lounges. Most of the time it is a complete zoo.
