Comments
To use the fitness center or swimming pool, you make an appointment at the front desk. Then, at your scheduled time, an employee will let you into the hotel gym with their staff ID card.
 
I liked that unlike many fitness centers I’ve been to, there wasn’t any scale available which made me feel as though the goal of the hotel gym was more focused on body movement than the number on a scale.
 
There’re disinfecting wipes available to use to wipe down the equipment when finished. The only items missing from this hotel gym that I would’ve like to have seen was a stability ball or yoga mat for people who wanted to do stretching exercises.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, I was extremely impressed by the hotel gym. Overall, this was a very robust hotel gym and it’s one I’d definitely use again in the future.

It would’ve been nice if they’d had a cable machine – I was surprised to see they didn’t.

The treadmills overlooked the pool area outside which was nice.
I did see quite a few people using the hotel gym when walking past it. However, it was never over-crowded.
 
I liked the variety. However, the sauna and hot tub was out of order at the time of my visit which sucked. It was also disappointing to see that there weren’t any dumbbells.
