Peabody Court - A Clarion Hotel - Baltimore 39.29696, -76.61718

This is a beautiful hotel in the heart of Baltimore's Mt. Vernon. We stayed for New Year's Eve. The room was very comfortable, clean and well furnished in lovely antique furniture. Room service was timely and the meal was delicious. The service in the restaurant the next morning was horrendous. We waited for at least 20 minutes for our breakfast, only half of it came, no coffee, and we had to ask twice for the rest of the order to finally arrive. When we checked out we paid for the extras in cash, but a few days later my credit card was billed for those same charges. When I called the hotel, the manager was less than gracious with me. I probably will not stay there again.

The Peabody is aged, but that's the inviting charm! The room was a good size with a comfortable bed (even with the smallish pillows). Plenty of hot water and pressure (I stayed on the top floor) for a relaxing shower and how can you beat a warm towel off the warmer! After a long day of business downtown with foul weather, I decided to eat at George's. The crab dip was superb, and the filet done perfectly to medium. However, the accompanying crab cake was pretty dull considering it's Baltimore where good cakes can be had in abundance. Have the front desk remove the safe charge upon checkout, and if you require parking during your visit be sure to ask about the expense of the valet parking (it's a little steep but close to par for the location and convenient). Enjoy!

10-15-09 I was in town for a show at the Lyric Opera House. Took the lite-rail ($1.69)right from BWI to just a couple blocks from the hotel. Location is perfect, easy to get around, lots of nearby history, can't beat the price for the quality of this hotel. I will definitely stay here should Baltimore be in my plans again. ...an yes, thank you to a friendly, outstanding staff !!! Kirk H. Orlando, Florida

It's an elegant hotel in an area with culture. However, it is a little far away from inner haber.

After driving 5 hours from Upstate, New York, I was exhausted. Arrived and was greeted by a young man, to take my keys for valet parking. This was not mentioned on website, nor was the price of parking. I think that it should be listed so that guests can figure in cost of parking and other hidden fees. I get to my room and the WiFi doesn't work. Called the IT help desk, turns out the hotel switch carriers, was transferred to the front desk and they estimated that it would take 30 mins to fix the problem. I picked this hotel one for location and two for WiFi access. I needed to login to retreive emails and find out what time I needed to be at my appointment. WiFi did not work and I was given an ethernet cable to use. Windows were dirty, only one light in bathroom worked. The key access to use the elevators was tricky, but secure, so no one enters the hotel from the streets. Will I stay again, no.

This is an older hotel, which has its charms and its out-of -date qualities. Our room was much smaller than some I've had in at the past at the same hotel. We had a king room. Go for 2 queens so you can walk around in the room. The breakfast service was atrocious,but the food was fine. Nice restaurants and cafes in neighborhood. It's located in a wonderful, quiet, historic neighborhood, which is why I've chosen it several times. The staff were reasonably helpful.

From the moment we arrived we were treated like super special guests. The check in guy was so friendly. The room was wonderful1! (Bathroom could have used a little TLC but we were so happy with everything else it was hardly worth mentioning). There were several really neat late night clubs, bars and restaurants located nearby so even walking in the rain was no problem. The only problem/complaint was the parking situation but hey, you can't have it all even tho this hotel did it's best!

we had an very large room, the gentlemen at the reception was friendly. Although the breakfast was not good at all...

Not a bad room or hotel, considering you can get this hotel at rates reduced much lower than most hotels right in the inner harbor. Regular neighborhood right outside, though people not from a major city might be "scared" if they walk three or so blocks down. Kind of far walking distance from the inner harbor (though possible), but the light rail stop is 2-3 blocks down, and 3 stops from the convention center, Pratt Street, the inner harbor, Camden Yards, and M & T Bank stadium. Again, good value, considering you'll pay half of what you'd pay for slightly better hotel right in the inner harbor.

I wasn't impressed with the surrounding area. Take a cab back from an orioles game if you're staying here because it's a mile walk and you're not gonna be too happy with the shadies you'll see lurking in the shadows. Great big clean room and great service.

peabody is a very charming hotel. it is located in a historic neighborhood. very quiet at night. when i arrived my room was a nice size, smelled nice and was clean. I was directly across from the Washington Monument. the bed was cozy and soft. the restarant doesnt have alot of choices though,and as with most hotels is overpriced. i would have liked more restaruants within walking distance. but if you like oldschool quiet charm, the peabody is for you.

We normally stay at the Mount Vernon Hotel up the block. The Peabody Court on Hotels.com was actually cheaper for this particular weekend. It was also a nicer hotel than the M.V. in every way—from location (right on the park) to the appearance and comfort of the room. The staff is friendlier too. We lucked out with street parking right in front of the Peabody, so we didn't have to incur the extra expense of parking in a garage.

We spent one night when in town for a concert. The staff was super accomodating and the room was perfect. Attention was paid to all the details and we wanted for nothing. The location was convenient to the Lyric Opera House where we saw the show and we had no problem walking there and back. The neighborhood is ecclectic and the architecture is superb. I would have no qualms staying here again. Even with the 29.99 parking service, it's still a deal.

The peabody court is a great hotel. The only downside is its hard to find a parking spot.

I was pleased with this hotel. It is certainly within comfortable walking distance to the Inner Harbor, the light rail as well as Penn Station. The amenities were plenty and in good shape. The restaurant onsite is nice and the staff is extremely helpful.

Great location near the Walters Art Museum, Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore Center Stage, and many good restaurants. Wireless in the room, at no charge. Mediocre breakfast from room service--next time, I'd venture outside the hotel.

the mattress is not comfortable at all i couldn't sleep during the night. (Comfort Inn is much better than this hotel and the price is reasonable) worst worst services, and byt the way, the hotel is old fashion. All the furtuniture is pretty old, need lots of improvement. I would not come to this hotel anymore. ( i meant don't even mention this hotel)

I enjoyed staying at Peabody Court during my stay in Baltimore. Although it wasn't in the heart of downtown there were many restaurants to go to and nice streets to walk around. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Parking was expensive but we did find a lot a few blocks down for only 6$/day. Overall, it was a great choice and I was glad to find a reduced price through hotels.com.

close to art museums and Basilica, short ride to Inner Harbor

This hotel is okay, not exactly amazing... but meets your needs. My room was rather small and the mattress was not all that comfortable - in fact I have had better stays at the Hampton Inn. There were bottled waters in my room that I would have been charged $4 for if I would have drank them. The bathroom area was pretty nice. They did not have a continental free breakfast, which was kind of a bummer. It was a little over priced for the hotel.

I needed a room in Baltimore with only a few hours notice so of course I went to hotels.com and this hotel showed up. I read some of the other reviews and was worried it might be a bit trash, but this was a five star hotel. The king size room was AMAZING. I got it for such a good deal that I wished I was staying a week. From now on when I go to Baltimore this will be the first hotel I check rates at. The only downer was they said they had parking and yes it is valet which is almost $30 bucks. So that alone makes the nightly cost go up. I was however able to find street parking and as long as you move by 9 am the next day it is not a big deal.

The hotel sits a little closer to the edge of a sketchy neighborhood than I would prefer, but the hotel itself and the surrounding buildings are quite nice. The room was beautiful with an extremely comfortable bed and nice furnishings - they've done a nice job keeping the historic integrity of the building. The only minor inconvenience was that the staff wasn't overly accomodating - our request for a late check-out was flatly denied and we were...dismissed...without being able to ask why, or if we could pay an extra fee for late check-out. It might have been a fluke though with that clerk, overall I would give it another try.

There was no air conditioning in the room and the windows do not open which was hell. They charged us $8 dollars for two bottles of water that they left for us in the room. I would not revisit the hotel. The room was a little dirty too.

This hotel was excellent and was located close to downtown. My wife and I just went walking every night to downtown to have some dinner and enjoy the view. The room was nice and comfortable. The fitness center is OK as it did not have weights, and it only has one treadmill, so you can not run with your spouse or significant other. My only complain is that they left my car sitting outside the last night. Considering that the valet parking is twenty dollars, and there is a "car tax" of 5 dollars, I was not very happy with that.

This was way more than we expected in a hotel. Very clean and elegant decor. The room was spacious and comfortable with great amenities. The surrounding neighborhood of Mt Vernon was beautiful and full of various points of culture like museums, and the restaurants we ate at were all top notch. This was a great bang for the buck area and a great jump off location to see more of Baltimore.

The hotel and staff were very nice. The neighborhood is not the best, but it's not bad. If you need a place in that area, I definitely recommend.

Definitely stay here, but park your car with the hotel. Parking signs are very confusing on Baltimore streets....you must pay attention to the times posted for "No Stopping" as well as "No Parking".

When I booked the rm I was in a rush. The hotel was near where I needed to be and it was a decent $. What I didn't see was that it had a $29 a night parking fee! You can park on the street however you have to move your car by 8am!!!! The second thing to upset me was that when I checked in I told the front desk clerk that I would be having a 2nd guest check in at aprox 1am and that I didn't want to be woken when they got there. He said he would put her name on the room so that when she arrived she could get a key and come up to the rm without disturbing me. However that is NOT what happen when she got there. Long after I was in bed sleeping the phone rang with a different front desk clerk asking me if the person at the desk was truly supposed to be in my rm. When I asked her if she had checked the computer to see if the other person's name was on the rm as explained to her by my friend, her response was no! So much for not waking me! My friend decided to haver her car parked by the valet so that her car could be parked in a locked garage. However that didn't happen. The velet didn't lock it up it stayed right there on the street all night! Needless to say it was not a pleasant stay! I will NOT be going back there again!

I have stayed here many times, it is really nice and walking distance to a number of great places to eat and hang out. There is a really cute park right accross from the hotel to sit read and it is a great part of town to go get lost doing a morning run! I would def recomend, and think it is great!

This hotel was not fancy, but perfect enough for a quick stay in Baltimore. Clean and friendly staff. Good value

I stayed at this property in Nov. 2008, because I stayed there one night many years ago, and remembered the rooms to be luxurious. I guess that I must have stayed there 1998, because it appears that nothing has been done as far as upkeep since then. I told the front desk personnel that I was leaving and that housekeeping could access my room to clean it, and I returned that evening to find it had not been cleaned/linens changed. When I spoke to the manager about it, she was nonresponsive as if it was par for the course, or in this case, the property. The furniture is inadequate and needs to be replaced. There's no work table or any table of any sort other than the night stands and the dresser, so good luck with eating in the room and using your computer. The bathroom was in poor condition -- the handicap handrail over the bathtub was coming out of the wall (since there was rust around the point where the handrail was separating from the wall, this had been going on for a while). The towel warmer sign was on the wall but the towel warmer was incomplete and nonoperational. I would recommend you pay more money and stay at a property in the inner harbor, unless you hear that this property goes through a major remodeling project AND replaces management.

I enjoyed this idiosyncratic old hotel in a historic neighborhood in Baltimore. It's an easy and inexpensive tram ride to the Inner Harbor, though most tourists might like to stay closer to that area. It's very convenient to the University of Baltimore and the train station. The rooms are odd shapes, but large and comfortable enough. I found it an enjoyable break from the similarity of newer hotels.
