    We had my husbands college reunion which brought us back to Pittsford. Marigold Inn was delightful and most convenient to all activities. We have another reunion in 2013 and will definitely stay there. It reminded me of a house in a fairytale.

    My family and I stayed at Marigold Gardens recently and had a wonderful stay. The service and food were amazing. Marcy and Reveira made us feel right at home! Our two year old son loved looking at the squirrels and birds out the window. We defintely plan on returning!

    Marigold Gardens is a wonderfully sweet cottage. The neighborhood is quiet and close to shopping, the gardens are beautiful and surrounded by trees. The rooms were clean and homey, everything you need is in the kitchen.

    Great home away from home

    I loved the look and feel of this apartment-style B&B. The living room was spacious, and the bedroom was wonderfully accommodating for a family with two adults and one child. The whole place, including the architecture of the home, has the feel of a French cottage. What a bonus the pool and patio next door are too. Marcy's breakfasts are worth it.

    Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. This has to be the best place I've ever stayed. I really hope this is available next year. You really set my standards high
