    My husband and I spent 3 glorious nights at Mon Ami. The food was fabulous, the room was very comfortable and the overall atmosphere was warm and friendly. It is very centrally located so you can get anywhere within minutes but you would never know you were in the center of town. It was fun in the evening seeing the bunnies in the front yard. I would recommend it to anyone who is going to be in the Tucson area I am sure we will be back again and again.

    I recently stayed two nights at Mon Ami in the French Country Suite. I chose Mon Ami for the location to school and I was quite impressed with my room and sitting area. I had my own private entrance and each morning I was presented with the most delicious breakfast. I didn't want to go home! Pat was the perfect hostess and I highly recommend Mon Ami to anyone wanting to get away and enjoy such a special place. Angie - Casa Grande, AZ

    We stayed at the Mon Ami on January 6, 2011, the night after our flight to Tucson, before we drove further to southeast Arizona's sky islands for hiking and birding. We stayed in the cottage and it was very comfortable, clean, and quiet, and had wifi and TV and a kitchen. The location is close to the center of Tucson and convenient for dining, shopping, or visiting University of Arizona. Our hostess, Pat Sparks, was very friendly, hospitable, and intellectual. She teaches nutrition at the U of A and cooked a wonderful breakfast to accommodate our gluten-free needs and our schedule.

    My mother and I visited for a fitness conference. We booked months in advance. When I first called, I expressed excitement over the jacuzzi, only to be told it was not in working order. Disheartened, I still made the reservation because of the private location, garden, pool, and friendly demeanor of Pat. As a side note, we were given the preferred rate, even though our stay was the last night of the off season and the first two nights of the winter season. That was enough of an insentive to solidify our decision, despite the many B&Bs in the area. Not too long after the initial call, I received an email stating the jacuzzi was restored to working order and would be ready for our visit. This pleased us quite a bit, as we hoped to go from working out all day to relaxing in the warmth of the jetted water. Once we arrived, every detail was covered. Breakfast was beyond our imaginations; my mother ate asparagus AND LIKED IT! Cleanliness and comfort ruled our shared room. The huge bed was extremely blissful and the high-quality fold-out sofa in the sitting room also provided a good night's sleep. We were sad to leave this lovely establishment and hospitality therein. We felt it was a wonderful value and plan to return, should be we seek temporary lodging anywhere near Tucson, AZ.


    Outstanding experience!

    Mon Ami was one of my best B&B experiences ever. The location is central, but private. The room was lovely with a modern bathroom and cosy gas fireplace. And the breakfasts, served by our host Pat on elegant china, were beyond surperb. We stayed a week and enjoyed delicious free trade coffee and a different gourmet breakfast every day - with muffins or sweet breads to go! I would highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Tucson.
