Bed and Bagels of Tucson

A great experience overall. Location is convenient to town yet far enough away to have a fantastic view of the countryside. The house is a classic southwest dwelling, well-appointed with a comfortable bed. Claudia is a charming hostess and conversationalist with a French Toast recipe that is worth the stay.

Hostess was warm, welcoming and provided good recommendations. Breakfast was delicious. Location was convenient for our interests.

Sharon was a welcoming and attentive host who went above and beyond in taking care of us during our stay. She cooked fresh food each mornng which was delicious. We didn’t realize that Sharon owns a cat and the dander did trigger my asthma, so it you have similar breathing issues you may not want to choose this location. If not it’s a great little place about 20 mins from Saguaro National Park.

Sharon was a wonderful host. Breakfast each morning was delicious, bed was very comfortable, enjoyed our stay immensely and would stay there again

Sharon, the host, makes you feel like you are family. We enjoyed each of her homemade breakfasts on the three days that we were there. What was unique was the information she gave us about the area and her suggestions on what to do and where to eat. We would not have been able to do as much as we did without her suggestions.

It was a pleasant and welcoming place to stay. The woman who runs it is welcoming and friendly. Good for people who need a cozy place to stay in the Tucson area.

We had a great 3 nights stay at Bed and Bagels. We stayed with our 3 children in 2 spacious, comfortable and clean rooms with a bathroom. The pool was a great fun for kids. Sharon is a very welcoming, friendly and attentive host. The breakfasts she prepared were delicious and tailored to our kids needs (not always easy…). She gave us great advice on the local attractions. We really enjoyed the location of the place - in the quiet residential neighborhood, while canyons and desert very close to the house providing great opportunities for day trips. We felt at home and will for sure come back if we are again in Tucson! Thank you Sharon for this great stay!

I first went to the clean and comfortable home of Sharon Arkin eight years ago. I was there with a few friends of mine for several days. When I was passing through Tucson again recently my intention was to contact Sharon to see if she had space available for me - solo this time - for another visit of a few days. Based on my initial positive and fulfilling experience at Sharon’s B&B, I was truly looking forward to another rewarding experience where I felt welcomed and appreciated as the friendly guest that I am. Even without the companionship of my previous traveling companions, I was treated with kindness, courtesy and genuine respect. It was obvious that her personal warmth came from a sincere place because Sharon is truly a good person who really cares about the welfare of her guests. Once again, she was highly attentive to my needs and interests as far as comfort and convenience was concerned. We shared meaningful discussions of a sundry nature that I found stimulating, entertaining and informative. One of the highlights of my visit was watching a video documentary that Sharon recommended that featured the wildlife of the local desert terrain. It was a fascinating presentation that enhanced my appreciation of the magical place I was visiting for much too short a sojourn. I look forward to returning to Tucson when I have more time, and for sure I will hope to stay with Sharon at Bed and Bagels of Tucson. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Sharon’s home for a stay to be fondly experienced and remembered.
