"Nice service, tasty dinner, relaxing spa area. They allowed us to use the spa area even after check out on the day of the departure. Overall, we were satisfied with the hotel. Just one thing, the hotel didn't offer seafood breakfast like smoke salmon or shrimp salad, which are typical for four star hotels in Germany (especially in northern Germany). The breakfast quality was otherwise okay, but with seafood the quality would have been significantly higher. "
