Hotel Congress

Frommer's Review

Located in the heart of downtown Tucson, the Hotel Congress, built in 1919 to serve railroad passengers, once hosted John Dillinger. Today, it operates as a budget hotel and youth hostel. Although the place is utterly basic, the lobby has loads of Southwestern elegance. Guest rooms remain true to their historical character, with antique telephones and old radios, so don't expect anything fancy (like TVs). Most bathrooms have tubs or showers, but a few have both. There's the classic little Cup Cafe off the lobby (think Edward Hopper meets Gen X), as well as a tiny Western Tap Room bar. At night, the Club Congress is a popular (and loud) dance club (pick up earplugs at the front desk).
