Opening hours are from 10am to 10pm. If you ask me, this is close to useless! Every hotel gym should be open 24/7! Only at my second stay, I managed to persuade the front desk to open at 7am. It shouldn’t be that much of a hassle…
The equipment itself is in close to perfect condition and the hotel gym nice and clean.
It would’ve been nice with a couple of rope handles for the cable machine and maybe a bench press/squat rack, but then again – it is a hotel gym, not your local gym.
That being said, I was positively surprised to see they had a Smith rack.
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No – not because of the hotel gym itself, but simply because the close to useless opening hours!
