I liked the location of the fitness center at this hotel where it’s overlooking the pool.
It’s large enough, well-lit and the equipment is in excellent condition.
The only strike is that the flooring isn’t as clean as expected.

Yes – the basics needed are here to get a sufficient work out in. Generally, Marriott Courtyards are good choices for moderately priced hotels.

This is a hotel that my company books for me and the hotel gym is decent as far as hotel gyms go but not great. It could use an update – for example, the adjustable bench is quite worn out. However, you can get a good workout in with some creativity.
The gym is open 24/7 and located on the 5th floor of the hotel.

Comments
My employer selects our hotels for layovers and while this location can’t be beat, the gym is less desirable. There’s lots of rust from being in close proximity to the salt water. That being said, there’s enough equipment available to get in a good workout. When it’s not too windy or hot, I prefer to do my run right on the beach.
The gym is available 24/7 which is nice.

Comments
The hotel gym is located on the top floor which gives you a fairly nice view of the surrounding area.
 
Considering its relatively small size, there’s a fairly good selection of equipment.
 
The air conditioning is great, there’s complimentary water (machine and paper cups) and there’s a washroom just outside.
 
Due to COVID-19, you have to book a slot for 1 hour per day. You can book from 8am-8pm and they clean the premises in between users.
 
I didn’t really like the weight-based machines as I couldn’t get an adequate range of motion and the seats weren’t adjustable. There’s also a limited number of attachments for the cable machine (one long bar attaching to each side, two single handles and a single straight vertical bar – not a curl bar).
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes – it’s a quite small hotel gym but it’s good for a few short sessions whilst you stay in a busy city.
