Comments
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hotel with as well-equipped hotel gym as this one!
At first sight, it seemed a bit tight and squeezed together, but actually it was nicely organized and very functional.  
In general, machines and equipment seemed new.
I was quite impressed to see they had a rowing machine.
The hotel gym is open 24/7 and during my use (in daytime), an employee was available for questions and to keep an eye on the hotel gym.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes! It was well-equipped, in great condition and never over-crowded.
