Nothing they had interested me. No Bosu or balance balls, no weighted balls, no dumbbells, no bands – nothing!

No, I wouldn’t – it only had cardio equipment which doesn’t interest me at all!

Comments
This hotel gym is small, but it offers a large variety of weights, which is a must if you’re a lifter like me and don’t want to bring your dumbbells along to every trip.
 
There isn’t a lot of room in this gym, but it gives you all the equipment you need to get a stellar workout in without having to pack your own dumbbells! The majority of Holiday Inn’s I’ve stayed don’t have dumbbells at all, so this one’s a rare gem!

Comments
A very nice hotel gym! Spacious, very clean and bright.
It’s the nicest hotel gym in the US I’ve been to – based on equipment available, size and cleanliness.
It felt like a mini gym experience rather than an at home office gym (typical for a hotel). The weight equipment wasn’t crowded – generally, several people could workout at the same time and still keep proper distance.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes! With COVID going on, we’ve missed going to the gym. This hotel gym was a big influence in why I selected this hotel for our vacation.
Overall, very happy and impressed! I wasn’t disappointed in anything.

Comments
The hotel gym is open 24/7.
There’re disinfecting wipes as well as a wall mounted hand sanitizer.
 
Unfortunately, the fitness center’s malfunctioning treadmill is a danger to anyone wanting attempt to use it. I tried to get a run done on the treadmill twice, and both times the treadmill stopped working within a minute of being turned on. Turning on the treadmill, it lurked forward and the treadmill belt moved slowly and made a low whining noise. As I increased the treadmill speed, the whining sound became louder until the belt stopped moving.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No – the malfunctioning treadmill was a huge disappointment.

It’s large enough, well-lit and the equipment is in excellent condition.
The only strike is that the flooring isn’t as clean as expected.

Yes – the basics needed are here to get a sufficient work out in. Generally, Marriott Courtyards are good choices for moderately priced hotels.

This is a hotel that my company books for me and the hotel gym is decent as far as hotel gyms go but not great. It could use an update – for example, the adjustable bench is quite worn out. However, you can get a good workout in with some creativity.

Comments
My employer selects our hotels for layovers and while this location can’t be beat, the gym is less desirable. There’s lots of rust from being in close proximity to the salt water. That being said, there’s enough equipment available to get in a good workout. When it’s not too windy or hot, I prefer to do my run right on the beach.
The gym is available 24/7 which is nice.
