Large enough for normal size suitcases like the ones you would take on an
airplane. So unless you travel with a coffin-sized box you won't have
problems storing it ;-)

The Hotel woul be the cheaper way to store your things, they normally don't
charge anything for it, if you book a room there later on. Maybe you can
check with them beforehand, if they open at 8 a.m. (don't know how far the
hotel is from the train station, but Baden-Baden ist not really that big,
so it shouldn't be a problem).

Baden-Baden isn't big but large and central parts are around 4km from the
railway station. Used to be a connecting 4,3km long railway but that
closed many years ago. So it's best for the o.p to know where the hotel
is situated.
But otherwise there's typically no problem to store luggage at the hotel on
arrival
and I agree that lockers near always can take a normal suitcase

The luggage lockers at Baden-Baden are on the platform next to the
station. Coin operated with two sizes, standard German DB unit. The
boxes are deep enough for two bags, you should have no problem with a
suitcase and a computer bag. If you arrive at 8 and have to catch a
train at 8:30 the lockers would probably be better than trying to get
to a hotel as the town center is a lttle way from the station.

The luggage lockers at Baden-Baden (Oos) are on the platform next to
the
station. Coin operated with two sizes, standard German DB unit. The
boxes are deep enough for two bags, you should have no problem with a
suitcase and a computer bag. If you arrive at 8 and have to catch a
train at 8:30 the lockers would probably be better than trying to get
to a hotel as the town center is a distance from the station.

Mummelsee is 25 plus miles from Baden-Baden. Quite a hike through
the mountains for one day. If you're planning stop-over on the way
you wouldn't want to check into a hotel in Baden-Baden anyway

There are no trains to Mummelsee - it's rather buses (line 245) ...

.... and these buses take the route through the city center. At certain
times of the day/week they run every half hour - or "you" can take an
urban bus (line 201, every 10..15 minutes) to the center and catch the
bus to Mummelsee from there.

Things may be more difficult if the hotel is not near to the train
station nor near to city center resp. the main street ...

a hotel but a hostel.
