Hi Brion,
such issues may be based on routing, depending of the peerings between the Hilton ISP and Wikimedia. One would need to check both ASes and use the respective looking glasses (does Wikimedia have one?) to check the routes. Many routes are also assymmetrical, so up- and downlink can vary.

I'm seeing verrrrrry slow downloads from Wikipedia on the hotel wifi, on the order of 20-30 kbytes/sec, whereas I get a very respectable 500 kbytes/sec to everywhere else.
