Comments
The equipment was all very new. There was enough equipment to get a complete workout in if you know what you are doing. There’re plenty of cardio machines and even a set of cables with a pullup bar.
 
Although there’s a fair selection of dumbbells, one 9 kg and one 11 kg dumbbell were missing.
 
There’re very large locker rooms for men and women which are attached to an outdoor pool and spa.
 
The gym closes at 6pm due to COVID-19 but that was the only downside.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, I would stay here again as this was an exceptional hotel gym for downtown Los Angeles.
