Tucson: Hotel Congress
Stay in the famous historic landmark Hotel Congress, where infamous gunslinger and serial bank robber John Dillinger was captured on January 22, 1934. Built in 1919 the hotel boasts a lively history and is located in the heart of downtown Tucson, Arizona. Rooms feature iron beds, vintage radios and an operational switchboard. Just to make it a little more weird, the lobby features a tacky Southwest theme that doesn't feel like the rest of the hotel.

Enjoy the unique decoration of each trailer with authentic memorabilia meant to take you back to days long gone by. Be advised that children under the age of ten are not allowed at The Shady Dell, due to the fragile nature of the trailers.
