Comments
This hotel gym actually felt like a full-on gym!
Opening hours are from 8am to 7pm, as I recalled. However, being on holiday hours, I think they open at 9am normally.
They sell energy drinks, protein and even has its own little shop where you can buy gym wear!
I was happy to see they actually had a bench and squat rack, but also cable machines.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes! It’s truly one of the best hotel gyms I’ve been too.

I liked that this hotel gym is open 24 hours a day.
Upon entering the gym, there’s a free-standing hand sanitizer dispenser by the door.
The gym also has a scale as well.
An unusual feature with the water cooler is the ability to choose from hot, room temperature, or cold water.
Free individual headphones are available to use while working out in the hotel gym.
Lastly, the hotel gym has motion sensor lights that shut off in parts of the gym that’s not being used.

Comments
This hotel gym was open 24/7 which was nice when traveling by car. Late arrivals and early departures make it hard when the hotel limits time.
 
There’s a nice and clean water dispenser with clean towels for your use.
 
A couple of things lacked which was sanitizer to spray benches and equipment down. Although by the naked eye it was pretty clean once you got on the wood floor, it wasn’t as clean as it could be. Mats were a bit dated and coming apart on the floor as well.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, overall, I would go to the hotel again based on the gym and what it had available. May ask for sanitizer spray next time I’m in the area though.
