During an overnight trip this week I was fortunate enough to stay at an Even Hotel, which is part of the IHG Hotels chain (think: Holiday Inn.) When I travel to this particular town I try to stay in this particular hotel because they are oriented toward fitness and have an excellent fitness center so I can keep up with my exercise schedule.
This week the hotel managed to blow me away.
When I checked in I discovered they upgraded me to a suite and when I walked into the room not only did it have a small exercise area right in the room, as is usual, but there was also an exercise bike/spinner in the room right next to the desk.
I was able to return some phone calls while spinning 12.5 miles over an hour right there in the room and then headed down to the fitness center for my usual workout.
This is a hotel brand that gets it.
In a time when many hotels are just now trying to upgrade their fitness facilities and add more than just a cardio machine or two, Even Hotels is way ahead of the curve.
It was a wonderful surprise!
