The place was definitely impressive. The Peabody is a huge complex and they run conventions here. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the mirror in the bathroom has a TV hidden in it that turns on and you can watch (instead of reading the newspaper when...). The view was magnificent from my 23rd floor and the pool below at night, when lit up, was gorgeous.

But that was it. I can't say that I felt the amenities in the room, other than free wi-fi, was overwhelming. It wasn't. Couldn't even make myself a cup of coffee. The pool area outside was pretty nice, and that was a bonus. The waterslide requirements pretty much excluded kids less than 4 feet tall, so that was no fun if you were a family with young kids. The restaurant in the basement looked nice, but no breakfast - brunch buffet only at $25, so we had to go to the in-house more casual dining - the B-line diner, which was good and fast and friendly. And it was packed. It was pricier than usual, but likely better than the brunch place. A bowl of cereal was $7 though. The work out facilities were huge and that was a bonus, but the equipment was standard, and looked a bit dated. No headphones when I went to work out - which is annoying.

The parkade was pretty far away if you wanted to self park, and valet parking was $25. At night, I would not feel safe for women to walk back along that dark path to the hotel from the parkade. Mugging or worse.

Overall, I would stay there if I was at a conference, but there are better choices for families.

We booked a room on Expedia on the fly as we returned from Port Canaveral. The facilities at the Peabody are very nice. Front desk staff went out of their way to be helpful during a crazy rush of check-ins prior to a bowl game. Our room was not ready yet, but they called us to let us know when it became available. The room was clean and very comfortable. We were very happy with our stay with one exception--we left a pair of sunglasses in the room, and called to inquire as to whether they were turned in to lost and found, but they were not.

Went to Peabody as part of convention. Very close to convention center. Reservations all handled well. Easy check in and very attentive staff.
Room size was good and good ammentaties. Best part of the hotel for me was the lap pool. There was usually no wait to access the two lanes.
Hotel restaurants and convention food was good. Nice work out room.
Overpriced so would only stay here for business not with family for vacation.
Also no free shuttle to Disney was a big minus-usually included in surrounding hotels

The hotel is nice, not quite as nice as the Hilton next door thou! the rooms are spacious! the reception staff are very friendly! But i stayed there over the Christmas period and had Christmas dinner in their restaurant on Christmas Day anyway leter that night i was being sick and had diarrhea so visited the pharmacy they said it would be food poision so i complained to the hotel about it the hotel passed me on to their insurance person who said you can`t prove it was caused by the food in the hotel and that there was no other person who was sick! which was incorrect as i was told by a member of staff that someone else had complained. So as you can not prove that the restaurant made you sick even thou it was the only eating establishment i visited that day there is nothing we can do! In future i would not reccommend them but the Hilton next door is very good in all honesty its a better hotel anyway and the Rosen Shingle Creek is good too!
P.S. it appears that when i booked into the hotel i had an extra guest already in the room a cockroach which was running between the bathroom and the fridge but i was only moved room after insisting that i would not sleep in a room with roachs! (makes you wonder if they ever fumigated the room afterwoods?)
