Dirty!!! Floor, doors, windows, and mirror looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months. Garbage overflowed. Trash in where towels were even though I couldn’t find towels complimentary anywhere. Wasn’t impressed in the least!!!

The gym was fully equipped, but the most exciting thing was the ballet bar!
The hotel gym was large with plenty of room. However, I wish they had water available – and it would’ve been perfect if they’d had music playing too.

This is most likely one of the worst/smallest hotel gyms ever! Everything is squeezed together making it extremely claustrophobic. There’s simply no oxygen!

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!
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes!

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.

I liked the location of the fitness center at this hotel where it’s overlooking the pool.
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.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes – the basics needed are here to get a sufficient work out in. Generally, Marriott Courtyards are good choices for moderately priced hotels.
