Comments
This hotel gym is small, but it offers a large variety of weights, which is a must if you’re a lifter like me and don’t want to bring your dumbbells along to every trip.
 
There isn’t a lot of room in this gym, but it gives you all the equipment you need to get a stellar workout in without having to pack your own dumbbells! The majority of Holiday Inn’s I’ve stayed don’t have dumbbells at all, so this one’s a rare gem!

Yes!

Comments
A very nice hotel gym! Spacious, very clean and bright.
It’s the nicest hotel gym in the US I’ve been to – based on equipment available, size and cleanliness.
It felt like a mini gym experience rather than an at home office gym (typical for a hotel). The weight equipment wasn’t crowded – generally, several people could workout at the same time and still keep proper distance.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes! With COVID going on, we’ve missed going to the gym. This hotel gym was a big influence in why I selected this hotel for our vacation.
Overall, very happy and impressed! I wasn’t disappointed in anything.

Time of visit: May 2021

Although there’s a solid dumbbell rack in the hotel gym, all actual dumbbells were missing – mostly removed due to the COVID-19 situation.
 
Accessories include exercise balls, a Bosu ball and a foam roller.
 
Does the hotel gym offer complementary towels? No.

Comments
The hotel gym is open 24/7.
There’re disinfecting wipes as well as a wall mounted hand sanitizer.
 
Unfortunately, the fitness center’s malfunctioning treadmill is a danger to anyone wanting attempt to use it. I tried to get a run done on the treadmill twice, and both times the treadmill stopped working within a minute of being turned on. Turning on the treadmill, it lurked forward and the treadmill belt moved slowly and made a low whining noise. As I increased the treadmill speed, the whining sound became louder until the belt stopped moving.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No – the malfunctioning treadmill was a huge disappointment.
