Kottbusser Damm

[missmelon]

There are 2 "Kottbusser Damm" in Berlin. One is a dam(avenue?). The other is a hotel name.
In the following context, which one does it refer to?

My suitcase became useless. I wanted to throw it away. I wanted to leave it on the corner of Kottbusser Damm, down by the canal, but I've never been a waster. I brought it back.

Don't be angry if I express my thanks in English. I haven't learnt German yet.

Where did you find a hotel named "Kottbusser Damm"? I haven't found it.

Anyway, most likely the street is meant. By the way, "Damm" does not mean "dam" but "embankment" here. Basically it's just another word for lane or street.

Frank78,
Thank you very much for your advice!
The hotel perhaps does not exist indeed. I heard of it from a friend and didn't confirm it.
Whether the hotel exists or not, "Kottbusser Damm" is indeed more likely to be a street.
"Damm" means "embankment". That would be the first German word I learned. Thanks!
