I had a long flight from the Oakland area to Austin. My time was limited, but my schedule involved a 45 minute workout on the treadmill when I got to my hotel...When I got to my room I quickly changed into my workout clothes to defer me from taking a power nap.I drank a few sips of energy drink and headed to the fitness room with my I- pod for an invigorating work out only to find a small, hot, smelly, gym...with the most outdated equipment that I have ever seen.
I choose hotels that have a workout facility on the premises. I have to say the Crowne Plaza in Austin has a very unsafe and unsanitary gym. The facility has 3 outdated treadmills that were malfunctioning. The X-cross trainer was malfunctioning due a loose barrier in the pedal. The seat on the recumbent bike was stuck on one leg length. In other words...there were 6 pieces of cardio equipment...and not one worked SAFELY or PROPERLY....
It was 105 degrees outside with 97 percent humidity....otherwise, I would have run outside.
Very dangerous...do not use!!
The Amenities should say .....DANGEROUS fitness facility.l
walls like paper...couple had a fight at 3 am....heard every word.
