Traveling was myself and 8 year old daughter, sister-in-law and her two daughters (8 & 5). This hotel's public spaces were beautiful, and the pool area was very well kept. (So much so that I got the feeling that children in the indoor pool were merely tolerated but not appreciated.) The room was the only place that you could truly see the age on the hotel; moulding that have been painted over so much that you can notice the thickness the paint has added to them, there was even a strange little access door in our room which opened to reveal very dusty/dirty pipes. The bathroom was tiny, but nice with a granite countertop and ample shower/tub unit. The beds and linens were very comfy, and the staff was top notch.
Make sure you make it to the lobby plenty early before the ducks march! We arrived about 10 minutes ahead of time and there wasn't a place to stand anywhere along the red carpet. Also, for the kids, sometime ahead of time they choose an honorary duck master to help the ducks march...so if you're traveling with kids try to be in the right place/ask the right people for that honor.
An overall wonderful experience, and would look forward to staying at the Peabody again.
