A small, basic gym with limited equipment.
 
There’s no air conditioning but there are two overhead fans which help a little.
It’s located off the main road so there’s not much of a view but there’s good natural lighting.
 
The hotel Wi-Fi is good enough to reach the gym.
 
There’s no cleaning station or sanitizer in the gym. However, it seemed clean, didn’t smell and the equipment looked well maintained.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No – it’s too basic – heavier weights are needed!
