The Eddy Hotel Tucson, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

“Oh what a wonderful stay!”

When we are stuck inside our house due to the intense heat, we, eventually, feel that we need to get away (even if it's only overnight) for a change of scene.

When we are stuck inside our house due to the intense heat, we, eventually, feel that we need to get away (even if it's only overnight) for a change of scene. As it was our anniversary, and we had read such glowing reviews of The Eddy Hotel, we decided to check in for a 3 day mini Staycation there. We know that area quite well, and some of our favorite restaurants are very close by, so the location was perfect for us. We made plans for where we would go for lunches and dinners. However, we enjoyed the hotel so much, that we only left it once, and that was to go to the Apple Store for a new iPad. The entire staff, and all the employees that we encountered, were friendly, pleasant and welcoming. Not once, did we pass a housekeeper in the hall, who didn't have a smile and a greeting for us. Our room and balcony were spotless. We love balconies, but in some other upscale hotels, we have had to get towels to lay out on the chairs, so as not to get our clothes dirty. Here, without any fear, we could sit on the balcony, wearing light colored clothing, and not worry. Everything is of high quality here. The walk in shower is luxurious, and has a grab bar. The bottled soaps and lotions all have a faint very pleasant fragrance. The walls and doors are so solid, that you hear nothing inside your room. The bed and pillows are most comfortable, and the linens and towels, are like new. There are many seating areas scattered around, and, I think, that, during our three day stay, we tried them all out. Our very favorite spot was the small historical area in the lobby. It is so well done, very interesting, but not overpowering. This is where you find out why the name "Eddy". As I mentioned, we had planned to go to some of our favorite restaurants in that area, but the food was SO good at The Eddy, that why bother going elsewhere. We ate 3 breakfasts, and 3 dinners there. Everything was not only very delicious, and the portions were perfect, but, also, the presentation of the dishes was a work of art. Not pretentious, but so appetizing. The Vienna Roast coffee was, most likely, the best coffee that we have ever had in a hotel. We are jam lovers, and Rita's Jam had us run to their small store, thinking that, perhaps, we could pick up some jars to take home. If I were them, I would have both Rita's Jam and the Vienna roast coffee packaged for sale at the Lobby store. Back to the balcony. It was open on two sides, and there was no ceiling, only beams. We could sit there every night after dinner, as it had cooled off enough, and the couch was so comfortable. As we sat, and chatted, we noticed these birds flying around like acrobats. Had to look them up, and found out they were Nighthawks. They were so fascinating, that we could not stop watching them. In fact, one night, we sat there until 1:30 am, and did not even realize that it had gotten so late. What a show! Anyway, we very much enjoyed our stay, and will be looking forward to coming here again. It was just wonderful!
