Comments
The location of the hotel gym wasn’t too good, as you need to walk through the restaurant, past the swimming pool and down two flights of stairs to reach it.
Both times I visited, early morning and evening, I was the only one training.
All equipment was clean, well laid out and a trainer was available for any help, guidance or questions.
It was very airy and with a comfortable temperature for working out. Sports TV screens were on, for background noise.
I was happy to see they had battle ropes, pilates/yoga balls as well as mats for floor work.
For a hotel of this size, it’s a good size hotel gym.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes! I can honestly say, this is one of the best hotel gyms I’ve ever visited.
