I love this hotel. Beautifully done, simple, south western history. The rooms are spare, simple, tranquil and perfect. No TV. The lobby, and the beautiful art in the Tap Room bar just show a respect and love of the area's history. Nothing overdone, no fake "howdee's" etc., just a good setting. The Cup is a great restaurant and the Gunpowder... More

This is a great hotel for diving right into the heart of historic Tucson, catching a show at the Rialto, or simply partying hard. It is a time warp, old school, spartan hotel with great staff at the desk and a busy scene on the ground floor, including a good restaurant and several cool bars. My wife and I had... More

The claim to fame is this is place where John Dillinger was staying when he was captured. The lobby is reminiscent of times past with old switchboards and phone booths (remember them!!) It's an old lobby of an old hotel. The bar is also old as is the penny covered floor in the Cup Cafe. I collect books of matches... More

As others have mentioned, this is a very noisy hotel- though in fairness they are upfront about that on their website. We found it funny they emphasized the "no t.v.s in the rooms to preserve the historic ambiance," but will pump inauthentic dance music through the floors til 11 (and we were staying on the opposite end of the hotel...

The Hotel Congress is super cool because of it's historic charm and eclectic mix of people visiting and hanging out around the common areas. You have to appreciate a hotel that's been around since, well, forever.....It's located is great. Walking distance to shops, cafes, restaurants, bars/clubs, etc. What you MUST know in advance of making your reservation to stay here... More

I have been to Hotel Congress several times and Barbara has not only been unfailingly gracious to me ever time I've been in there. On one particular occasion, when she asked me how I liked her Cosmo, I did admit that it was too sweet for my taste. The next drink was PERFECT. We ended up having a great conversation... More

I live in Tucson and hadn't visited Congres in several years because of a bad experience I had with a bartender there. However, thru the urging of some friends I decided to give it a go again this past Monday. Barb was my bartender and I have to say the service was extraordinary!! She makes the BEST lemmon drop martinis!!... More

I just spent a week at the Hotel Congress and wish every hotel was this neat. And I mean NEAT! Clean and Hip! I am a normally anxious 45 year old female traveler and I felt very comfortable and safe there. The staff was personal, professional, fun and accommodating. As far as the details go: The rooms have a ceiling... More

In the month of January, My friend and I went to Hotel Congress on a Thursday night. I never had a negative experience at this location until this one night. A particular bartender, Barabra, gave me the most disrespectful, stubborn, rude, customer service ever! Never in my 24 years of life I've ever experienced that. When I first arrived, I... More
