Definitely don't disagree with you on that aspect. That particular Hilton though has quite good Gold / Diamond recognition in my experience (great upgrades) and their in-room dining is very cheap if you don't feel like going out. But yes, I do end up Ubering literally everywhere when I stay there if I don't have a rental car.
