This hotel gym was open 24/7 which was nice when traveling by car. Late arrivals and early departures make it hard when the hotel limits time.
 
There’s a nice and clean water dispenser with clean towels for your use.
 
A couple of things lacked which was sanitizer to spray benches and equipment down. Although by the naked eye it was pretty clean once you got on the wood floor, it wasn’t as clean as it could be. Mats were a bit dated and coming apart on the floor as well.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, overall, I would go to the hotel again based on the gym and what it had available. May ask for sanitizer spray next time I’m in the area though.
