I thought the layout was good for the small space – it was relatively roomy: There were five of us at one point and still it didn’t feel crowded.
 
The super padded flooring makes it a bit odd to walk on but overall it’s a nice clean gym.
 
They offer disposable headphones and opening hours are from 5am to 10pm.

It would’ve been nice if they’d had a cable machine – I was surprised to see they didn’t.
However, it was at least nice to see they had dumbbells since I don’t do a ton of machine-based cardio.
 
I definitely would’ve liked to see exercise mats and kettlebells!

Comments
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.
