It's a better layover during summer but still won't be bad. There's a glider port up on the hill behind the hotel with a bar/restaurant. Not sure what the activity level would be there this time of year. Boat tours available from launching piers in front of the hotel. Lots of restuarants - almost impossible to go wrong with the numerous gasthaus/bars. Several wine makers have establishments behind the hotel to the right. You can probably arrange a wine probe very easily.
The village has the two names because it's split by the mosel river. Traben on one side, Trarbach on the other. The bridge to the other side is close to the hotel. At the very least, you'll be able to relax and rest, find a good place to eat and grab a Bitburger. Have fun.
