HOTEL CONGRESS, Tucson

The hotel sits in the heart of the downtown entertainment area, placing the Rialto Theatre, several bars, restaurants, and historic Fourth Avenue within an easy walk. The Tucson Museum of Art is 800 metres away, and Reid Park Zoo is 5 km from the property. Tucson International Airport is a 20-minute drive (12 km); the Amtrak station is a short walk. Public transport options include the streetcar and multiple bus lines stopping directly outside, making it convenient to explore the city without a car.

Each room is individually styled with vintage iron bed frames, a rotary phone, an old-fashioned radio, and a desk. Bathrooms are compact and most have a shower; a bathtub must be requested at booking. The double rooms offer one or two beds, with some King rooms providing a street view. The Club Full room sits above the nightclub and is the noisiest; a standard Full room overlooks the street or plaza. Rooms lack TVs but a shared TV lounge is available. Bedding is comfortable, and air conditioning is individually controlled. Be aware that soundproofing is minimal-street noise, hallway sounds, and music from the venues can be heard clearly.
