Agree with this 100%!!!!
While I have been to some hotels that had nice fitness centers, I think I could count those on 2 hands. They are definitely the exception. Most have a room that would be the size of a normal guestroom, stuffed with 2-3 treadmills, maybe an elliptical machine, maybe a bike.
I've mostly gotten over my addiction that I need to do a full workout every day. During a recent trip, I did ~45 min on the hotel treadmill most days and called that it. Surprisingly the hotel, a Homewood Suites, did have a decent workout room.
