Not familiar with the hotel itself, but its location would be nowhere near the top of my list to stay.
It is a bit outside the Eastern city center on the way to the peculiarly and impressively terrible and infamous highrises of Berlin- Marzahn.
What is your budget? - I am sure there are better options in much better locations available!

I just booked three nights at the Angleterre in Berlin in January ... a suite for 89 a night right near Alexanderplatz and the Gedarmenmarkt.
Also you can get a room at the intercontinental for around 100 a night and they have tennis courts. (Well, if you book far enough in advance you can get a rate for under 100.)
Berlin may be an immense city, but tennis courts + center of town = ultra expensive or nonexistant.
Don't stay in Lichtenberg. If you're going to stay that far away from the city center, stay on the west side. It's more chic and closer to other things you actually may have an interest in seeing...Charlottenburg and Potsdam to name a few. The east Berlin suburbs are so fugly. Avoid flying out of Schoenefeld, as well. That airport is full of long lines and Germans heading to Corsica on discount airlines.
Highly recommend heading to Potsdam for a day trip. Buy some scrumptious treats on the sixth floor of KaDeWe, hop on a S-Bahn at Zoo, and have a picnic on the grounds of King Frederick's compound near one of his two palaces.

Sorry. I am not aware of any hotel in the city center that offers tennis courts - not to mention offers such services at EUR 100.- max.
I am even surprised to hear the Interconti would have tennis courts. Has this been verified???
