currently typing this from the sheraton brauneck. on 2nd floor "executive" floor. Only certain floors have internet (wired) (for free). Great value at 3,000/ night for fri/sat night. stayed here a total of 4 days. gotta visit the spa. reminds me of the jabba the hut bar in star wars. like your in a cavern.. free steam room, sauna (hot), and infared sauna, and "hot tub". no swimming pool. im staying here in the "off season". this is a big skiing area, and popular in summer. drove to saltzburg, austria today, took a little over 1 hr. nice place. its older, but my room seems to be well maintained. mini bar fridge, that I pulled items out of to use as a fridge. they had a plug adapter i could borrow at the front desk, but remember to bring your own! about 45 minutes from munich. (out in the middle of nature - not a big city). supermarket is across the street where you can eat, affordably. also a "green market" or health food store in town, as well as other "supermarkets".
This hotel is in Lenggries, which is near bad tolz.
ps. online it said "call to redeem points" for stay, I did and there was availability, no problem. I counted the keys on the rack in the lobby and hotel had about 30% occupancy two nights ago. Front desk person really took care of me (had incorrect res), and he took care of everything.
breakfast is 6:30-10:30 am and 16 euros per person, and is not worth it. at checking we asked if breakfast was ""included" and he anwered as if it was, then at the end, we were charged for breakfast.. so watch out.. go across the street to the supermarket, and remember to buy on sat for sundays food, as grocery stores are closed on sun in germany.
also be sure to bring your own GPS to germany if you are driving. makes like much easier.

Surprisingly good
Stayed at the FP Brauneck in Lenggries last weekend (nights count double promo/needed to secure plat status). Got upgraded from standard suite - cheaper than a normal room at most SPG participating hotels - to (their only, I think) 2BR suite. REALLY nice, 5* standard, huge terrace, 3 big plasma TVs. Restaurant is nice too - except breakfast buffet is nothing special. Employees are very friendly and helpful. Will certainly go back there - it's a much better value than the hotels in our Swiss mountains...

The building in dresden for example was sold by the arabella group. At the moment there is a cleaning going on in the portfolio and nobody knows when there will be an end...
The 4Points Dsseldorf and Kln are no more franchise partners.
The " merger / Joint-Venture " between Schrghuber aka arabella hospitality group and starwood has ended and the wind of change follows...
It is not only the german part, also switzerland ( Seehof Davos ), south africa and mallorca is involved.
