If I had a dollar for every time I had gone down to a hotel gym and found myself wandering around with no real direction because there was either not the equipment I expected or most likely I'm jetlagged and didn't think ahead about what I would do at the gym here are some great general ideas depending on where you are:
Jogging routes: many hotels will have an info card on local recommended jogging routes which usually allow you to not only get a workout in but also check out the local area (and feel like you have actually left the hotel).
Hotel Pool: going somewhere really hot and humid? What better way to start your day than with a refreshing dip? Set yourself a lap target and maybe alternate between freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke to mix it up and work some different muscles
In room or gym workout: is the gym closed or the hotel calls one treadmill in a broom closet a "gym" then you can likely even do a workout in your room, jump over to Pinterest and find yourself some fun workouts. There are quite literally thousands of bodyweight workouts on there that can be done in a very small space.
