Comments
The opening hours are from 10am to 8pm which is quite annoying since it means you can’t work out before breakfast.
Since there’re no towels are water in the actual hotel gym, you should bring this by yourself.
I was super excited to see they had a Smith machine as well as leg curls and extensions!
You’re required to book an appointment if you want to use the hotel gym. This is most likely due to the COVID-19 situation, since there’s also a limit as to how many people they allow inside at a time.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure – this hotel gym was pretty nice, but I don’t really book hotels based on their hotel gyms. If they have a nice hotel gym, it’s great – if they don’t, I just get creative.

Comments
I didn’t like the location of the hotel gym: It’s tuck away down a corridor on the 2nd floor. I was startled as it’s a dark corridor leading you to it and the main door to the hotel gym didn’t work with the room key. You had to go through the staff door and then enter the hotel gym.
 
The hotel gym faces the indoor pool, without windows and with low ceilings.
 
The hotel doesn’t have good security, so anyone can come off the street and into the elevators.
 
The hotel gym itself was clean and the equipment was good and in working order.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No – due to the location and lack of security.
