Hotel berhampiran Platz der Freiheit, Schwerin

I had stayed in this house before, even a few times, but a long time ago. Now I was shocked, because the way the property is run down is very scary and also very disappointing. What is fine as before: the location in the city is good and the Wi-Fi worked. But that was unfortunately already the positive experiences this time. The reception is only staffed until 22:00, so the concierge came right away also with the saying: I'm out of here, it's time to go home. Room card and bye. In the room, which at first superficial glance seemed fine, there were then the really disappointing surprises. And: A room change was now no longer possible because of the missing concierge. The main defect was the bed: Apparently the mattress is broken, because about 1000 nylon rods with a length of about 1mm pecked through the sheet when you sat or lay on it. That's how a fakir must feel. A pincushion of the finest. Every time I turned around I was awake with pain, so after two hours I decided to sleep the rest of the night in an armchair. Next to it, the facade spotlights shone into the room, and the darkening with blinds and curtains, which were not wide enough, worked only partially. Some of the furniture was really broken and the smoke detector was only visible as a socket on the ceiling. Next to it a lively cable tangle, which was obviously not built to the end. Also in the area of the corridors everywhere a considerable renovation backlog: letters of the lettering were missing, scuffs on the walls. The next morning at the reception, I complained about the night in the seating to the lady, who also tried to appease that problem, but could not or would not respond to my request for a 50% discount on the room rate. I also could not accept a free breakfast due to the upcoming customer appointment. My colleagues thought that I should have been fully reimbursed for the ”night”. A subsequent mail to the administration resulted in a 10% discount on the price. In summary: I think a new owner or management that will make the Plaza into one again, an it is urgently advised. It used to be a good hotel, but now it feels like the old GDR: no one cares anymore because no one owns it.

Das Hotel heißt jetzt Courtyard by Marriott Schwerin. Hotel komplett neu! Alles schön renoviert! Tolle Mitarbeiter! Es wirkt wie eine große Familie! Alles sehr sympathisch! Einziges Manko die Entfernung in die Stadt - mit dem Auto 15 Minuten. Kommen gerne wieder

Das Personal ist superfreundlich. Die neu renovierten Zimmer sind B und B Standard. Momentan wird dort renoviert. Wird bestimmt schön. Komme wieder.

We stayed here only for a night, but from what we saw, we wished we had had the possibility to experience this place for a longer period. This is definitely a place where you come to spend a longer holiday. This is a bigger complex with various room/house types. We had a studio, which consisted of a bedroom with a dining area, a kitchenette, a bathroom with a bath tub, a closet and a small patio. Only downside we experienced was the smell on paint in the room when we arrived. There were also scaffolds right outside the window of our room. I believe people mainly come here by car, and there were loads of parking places and they even have spot where you can wash your windshield! This came handy since our windshield was filled with dead bugs. The place is also surrounded by forest and by the water, so there are lots of mosquitoes in the evenings during summer time at least. There’s lots to explore around the premises. We enjoyed watching the different animals (donkeys, alpacas, goats, rooster & hens). The location by the water is beautiful and there was a swan swimming close to the shore line. You can also book sauna by the water if you want or take a morning swim in their pool. There’s a huge lawn where you can sit in a shaded chair or sunbath. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can even rent a boat. There’s also a nice playground for kids there. Since our visit was very short as we were passing by, we didn’t have hotel breakfast.

Unser Aufenthalt hat alle unsere Erwartungen übertroffen, angefangen von dem überaus freundlichen, sehr hilfsbereiten Personal am Empfang, im Service, selbst im benachbarten Spa, und Sauna Bereich. Die Ausstattung war ordnungsgemäß, alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit, und freuen uns jetzt schon auf ein nächstes Mal. Dieses Resort-Hotel ist definitiv eine Empfehlung wert.

The hotel is on a busy street so parking time must be kept to a minimum, it’s a long way round to the parking at the rear of the hotel, if you have reserved a place it’s best to ask for the address. Its a very nice hotel with quite large rooms. Good bed and nice bathroom. Wifi is average. Breakfast costs €15, quite a lot for a breakfast but it’s worth every penny. As soon as you walk into the restaurant, they ask you how you like your eggs. My omelette was very good, lots of bread available and croissants. Many sorts cheese , ham , etc etc. Fresh fruitsalad, fresh coffee is brought to your table. I even saw an assortment of fish. This was the best hotel on my trip and the best breakfast.
