Comments
It’s a decent little hotel gym but a bit tight on space.
The cable machine is in good condition, but I’d say the weight calibration is off by about 10 pounds (light).
Opening hours are 24/7.
What I found challenging was how small the space was versus how much equipment they tried to pack in. It’d be better to pull out a bike or treadmill and open the space up for movement.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, it’s not often I come across a hotel gym with a cable machine/functional trainer, so when I do, I try to go back to those locations.
