I don’t know why some people are so outraged. It’s not any different to well established practices in other countries. Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Italy (Alps part)… all have similar guest fees. Sometimes you pay them as part of your stay, sometimes separately.
Yes and no. Things like beach usage might have a fee attached if you’re not a resident which is then waived if you paid the hotel tax. There’s also going to be free beaches, but don’t expect those to be nice, have kiosks, whatnot. Essentially municipal-level private beaches.
I know at least one german municipality where the beach is only allowed to be entered with a Kurticket, at least thats what a sign says, I didnt need to show my card once.

At least in Germany they always are attached to overnight stays afaik
I’m not sure how you’d enforce such a fee generally except for cities like Venice that get a lot of visitors by cruise ship

Ticket gates at the port.
I know Waren has a day fee in addition to the night fee.
Lol been in waren multiple times (never at a hotell tho) and havent heard anything about it.
5 month now. Maybe you have been there before or outside the taxed area
Ive been in the centrum, but always slept in Village a little outside the city. Well technically I once slept at the water in the centrum
