My 2 teens and I stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay very much. We enjoyed the spacious room, the wondeful breakfast, and very pleasant staff. Even though we didn't speak German we were able to manage just fine with translate app. Similar comment to another reviewer, Schwerin is mostly an unknown gem. Not overly crowded like the big cities in Germany and, IMO, more beautiful. The lakes and castle are what truly make the town unique. We also rented a car for the day from Enterprise, also super friendly, and explored Rostock, Wismar, and the surrounding countryside. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful area of Germany!
