Interesting -- over 100 reviews and not one in English, doubtless because few English or American guests stay here. It's very much a beach resort, and I suppose English tourists looking for a European beach vacation will always tend to head further south for sunnier weather. And it's off the usual tourist routes for Americans. The clientele seem to be mainly German and Danish families and groups of teenagers.
We stayed here for a night as a convenient stop-off before catching the car-ferry to Denmark next morning. The hotel is a self-contained resort, rather like a mini Disneyland by the beach. Three big high-rise buildings, with multiple restaurants, game rooms, swimming pools, sauna, gym, kid's play areas etc. NIce ocean views, especially from the upper floors. The facility seemed to me to have a bit of a communist East Germany feel to it, although the site was just on the west side of the old border -- functional and rather dated. The elevators are small, and since the facility is high-rise and densely populated you can find yourself waiting a while for an available elevator, especially around check-out times. Rooms are comfortable enough. Breakfast was plentiful and decent. Service was OK. It had a bit of a production-line take-a-number vibe -- inevitably, perhaps, considering the size of the place. The desk clerks all spoke sufficient English to cope with linguistically-challenged Anglos like us.
The nearest town, Burg auf Fehrman, is lively. We had a pleasant and reasonably-priced dinner at Fischbistro Kombuse.
For our limited purposes, this hotel was fine.
