Magical!

We just got back from our 2nd visit to The Arcadian Inn. We went there to celebrate my birthday and stayed in the Captain's Quarters for 2 nights. We truly enjoyed our stay. They pay excellent attention to the little details that make the stay extra special. My husband and I have stayed at several B & B's and by far this is my favorite. This is the only B & B I've stayed at where they bring your breakfast to your room and they provide robes so you don't have to rush around and get ready. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the peppermint towels they bring with breakfast are magnificent. I love their jacuzzi tubs and little house amenities they provide! The jacuzzi tub for two is one of my requirements for a romantic and pampered setting (I don't have one at home). We stayed on a Friday and Saturday day night and never heard a sound except for the storm on friday night (Oklahoma thunderstorms....need I say more).
We had excellent service from all the staff. Whenever we needed anything we just dialed a number and it showed up at our door. On Saturday, I asked if they could get us new linens, the table set for dinner in our room and some more teas for the Keurig coffee/tea maker (which I loved) while we went to lunch. They said absolutely and just wanted us to let them know when we were ready so they didn't bother us. They came in and completely cleaned and reset the room with all the little details and even set the lighting and had romantic music playing when we returned. It was like we arrived for the first time all over again.
My husband liked the curtains around the bed because he likes to sleep in and I'm an early riser. I enjoyed getting up and reading knowing I wouldn't be bothering him because I just pulled the curtains shut around the bed and it helped block out most of the light.
The highlight for me was relaxing in the jacuzzi tub with the foaming mineral salts I purchased from them (they give you some of the regular mineral salts, but I wanted the foaming ones), a glass of wine and a good book. It was perfection!
The only things I saw that people might could view as a negative was that the room is a bit small (we viewed it as cozy and intimate) and it is a bit hard to get in and out of the bed for the person sleeping on the side closest to the wall. Also there is no door on the bathroom, only a decorative curtain to pull across, but it didn't inconvience us. I also agree that their prices are rather high, but they do have different prices for different rooms, which is nice. You can also do a no frills package and that takes the price down some.
Overall, we truly enjoyed ourselves and we came back feeling refreshed, rekindled, and pampered!
