The hotel gym is very clean and well maintained.
There’s also a nice bathroom for gym users only which is very convenient.
 
I prefer weights to cardio equipment and many hotel gyms just have cardio equipment. To have a place that had a full cable machine, free weights, a pull up station and battle ropes too, provides something for everyone.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes – this gym was awesome! It’s honestly one of the best hotel gyms I’ve ever used, mostly because of the varied equipment.

Comments
The hotel gym is open from 06:00am to 11:00pm and there’s a spa next door.
The gym was clean and the temperature well adjusted.
At the time of my visit, rather loud music was playing on the speakers. I was unable to find the remote/switch to turn it down making it senseless to listen to my own music on my headphones.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
It’s unlikely – I’ll probably look for other hotels with better hotel gyms.
