No problem at all and thanks for the information that you searched. However, for people who do not know the place, it can be difficult to find out the locations that are the closest - time-wise, not distance-wise - from the Hilton (Google Maps may deceive you, for instance if there is a big freeway to cross between your hotel and the Hilton). Here, the local host could help by suggesting the most convenient hotels.
