The five stars I am giving this hotel are well deserved. The service was amazing, location unbeatable, and the food excellent (both at the restaurant for dinner and the buffet breakfast). Great room. Don't worry about the parking. Just pull up to the front of the hotel, and someone will park your car. Then leave it for anything involving the city itself. Stralsund is a walking city, and the hotel is only a five minute walk from the Old Market Square; the Old Harbor is also very close. Be sure to climb the tower at the Marienkirche (St Mary's) for an extraordinary view of the city - easily walkable from the hotel. The Scheelehof is a cut above what one normally gets in that region. Highly recommended.
