I stayed there last year for a couple of nights. About an hour and a half drive from Munich, close to the Austrian border. Quaint, charming area with small towns, rivers and mountanous terrain (ski resorts in Winter), hiking/nature trails etc. Did some day trips into Austria (Innsbruck, Hall, etc.) very scenic drive, traversing lakes, rivers and some great picnik spots on the way.
Hotel is located near the center of town, nice staff, very clean and quaint, great breakfast buffet and great weekday rates (around 75 Euros). </font>
Wow, short and precise. Here some additional informations.
I stayed there 3 times (single days) in summer 2002. Its a good starting point for hiking in the alps. Not that high mountain, but with more lovely nature and aswell impressive.
On the near Brauneck (like everywhere else) are Houses where you can stay overnight in the mountains.

For a hotel in the alps the view from the room is not that great one. The cheaper higher-floor (classic) rooms might be better for it.
The better rooms (executiv) on lower floors have better furniture, i liked them more.
The location is in a residential area, so no nature at the door, but you can walk to the citycenter and enjoy the life (restaurants, beergarden).
The main customers of the hotel seems to be the user of the conference-center. During summer holiday is off-season for conferences. So last summer in August the hotel was closed for holiday. This year (2003) no rooms are available after Aug 3. until around 20..I think they will close at that time.
The remaining time of public holiday in Bavaria until Sep 8. might offer very cheap rates. Last year around middle of June I got for my stays at the end of August a rate of 52 Euro incl. bfast!
A advantage of using *wood in this holiday-region is the cancellation-policy. Also the hotel is not packed with tourists who flood the restaurant. But due to the conference center you might occasionaly not be alone.
Free parking in front of the hotel, or at the nearby streets. Hotel has aswell garage.
For the winter-season you might find better hotels. More snow in higher regions, better connection to the lifts, more reasonable rates.
In summer the Sheraton Spitzingsee in the vicinity offers sometimes rates of around 100 Euro and below. The location is a dream and you have a warm pool inside (This spring - summer the pool will be reconstructed). You are really in the nature. (There is nothing except a few hotels and houses, and a nice lake surrounded by the mountains )
