The weight-based equipment is in good shape – I can’t speak for the cardio equipment. I didn’t get on any of them because it was so hot in there.
 
It’s a small hotel gym with limited equipment, not super clean.

Not sure. It’s a work trip so there’s no choice in the accommodations. If I was staying for pleasure, it’d be elsewhere because of the gym and other factors.
