Please, if you know that you sweat alot when exercising and you are visiting a hotel gym (or any public one, for that matter) please observe the following basic rules:
1) Don't wear a vest if you sweat alot - it's bad enough seeing the sweat drip down your face, let alone see it on the backs of your arms and under your arm pits. Note also that violation of this rule is particularly bad if you have a large amount of body hair.
2) Don't lean on the equipment - not only does this cause you to be in the wrong posture for optimum workout results, but seeing the smudgy residue of your sweaty arms (see 1. above) over the display and buttons will at the very least distract others from their own workout.
3) Don't constantly look around the gym at others - if you are guilty of 1 and 2 above, pretty much everyone else will be actively avoiding making eye contact with you anyway.
4) Don't check your neighbor's workout display to see how fast they are going so you can increase your own speed/incline/resistance so that you are obviously working out more than them - you are, after all, already sweating all over the place.
5) Do not walk away from your piece of equipment leaving a puddle of sweat under the machine - that is just plain gross.
