This is a great hotel. Only 5 month's old at the time of our stay. I think we had a room that no one had stayed in. Great service and really nice and fresh breakfast. Each room has a Keurig machine. The gym is small with a universal machine z weights to 40Lbs, 2 benches, and a few cardio machines but you can get a decent workout
