Comments
The hotel gym is clean and well-maintained with a nice view overlooking a Japanese style garden.
It’s open from 6am to 10pm.
Kettlebells, medicine balls and a leg-press machine would’ve been nice, but since it’s not a full gym, you can’t expect the world. However, you can easily make do with the dumbbells. The rowing machine was also great!
I just love decent weights. Most hotel gyms only have cardio equipment and 11 lbs/5 kgs dumbbells/weights. I could get a decent strength workout in with the dumbbells they had.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, it’s a great hotel gym with heavy dumbbells.
