We were looking for something downtown for a weekender out of St. Louis. Friends mentioned The Peabody as a classic southern hotel they thought we would appreciate and enjoy. I was pleasantly surprised that our "standard" room was so spacious. We could see from the fire escape plan on the back of the door the framework of the various rooms on our floor. We had one of the largest rooms available in our price range. We were thrilled! It made coming back in the evening a real joy. There was no tripping around the ironing board, for example. The shower was also certainly a highlight, as it was instantly as hot as I like it (I could have cranked it hotter if I had wanted to, which is rarely the case at most hotels), and it had wonderful pressure (again, a rare commodity)! The wi-fi was included in the price and made us eager to share photos and thoughts with friends through social media. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

The hotel lobby seems to be continually full - which is fine, especially because there is a lovely space for meeting friends for drinks around the fountain area. When we were there, only two elevators (out of four) were running, and those were very, very slow. Although taking the stairs up and down from the sixth floor wasn't bad for us, I'm sure we would have welcomed a more accessible elevator. The hotel parking was quite a clip away, which may be the only option given the available real estate, but for $18/day, I grew a bit grumpier each time we hiked to the car.

Hotel staff was friendly and courteous. Manager was very accomodating with a room upgrade when our Booked.net reservation had no visibility on their system. Atmoshpere was electric. Accomodations were excellent. I would stay there again without question.

Parking is in a garage at least a block away walk. This was quite laborious. Bar service in the lobby was lousy. Others complained of the service, also. This was not enough to keep us away in the future.
