Comments
Everything looked new and clean and the hotel gym is airconditioned.
It would’ve been nice if there’d been a back extension bench and a cable machine, but the space is limited, so I’m not sure how it would fit.
On the plus side, there’s a 24/7 vending machine offering ice cream, coffee, tea and drinks including alcohol. However, the hotel offers free hot drinks and cold water on the ground floor. There’s an onsen (Japanese bath house) on the same floor as the hotel gym.
I also wish the opening hours of the hotel gym were 24/7 – it’s open from 6am to midnight. If I get back to the hotel late or can’t sleep, it would still be nice to use the hotel gym after midnight.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure – because of the limited opening hours.

The hotel gym is very small! There’re three treadmills, two stationary bikes and a few yoga mats and foam rollers – that’s it! There aren’t any weights of any kinds.

Comments
Towels were part of the hotel amenities, but not hotel gym amenities.
The hotel offers free hot drinks and cold water in the main lounge area, but not in the hotel gym area.
Part of the hotel gym area are massage chairs and onsen (Japanese mineral bath house) as part of amenities.
Opening hours are from 6am until noon – and the again from 3pm to midnight.
It would’ve been nice if there’d at least been some weights – dumbbells up to at least 50 lbs/22 kgs and a bench, barbells, plates – anything!
Of course if  different machines or a cable machine were added it would be great too, but the hotel gym is so small – probably equivalent to like a large bedroom.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure. Even though the hotel is nice, it’s not a great hotel gym.
