I think the Hilton accross the street from Terminal 1(?) might pretty 
good. (They at least have a restaurant and large lobby). You can walk to 
it underground from the blue line stop.

Yup... But that's okay. But very much in the spirit of BarCamp (
http://barcamp.org/), I have no problem with, and would highly encourage, 
others to start their own "franchise" of TECHcoffee weekly 
meetup/mini-sprints/study hall/what-have-you events. The point is that if 
you're looking for an excuse to block out a short amount of time each week 
to work on some fun/open source/not-because-you-have-to/ software projects 
with or near other like-minded people, this should help foster that.
