09Spring: Germany-Lodging

Berchtesgaden - Gastehaus Alpina - €44 Double + Breakfast
Pros: Relatively close by the train station; No need to walk uphill; Room is clean; Great Breakfast; Friendly staffs
Cons: Close by train rack but it's not that loud for us as our room faces the mountain; 10-15mins walking distance from the town and restaurants but it's fine with us

Oberammergau - Pension Enzianhof - €59 Double + Breakfast
Pros: Clean and big room with balcony; Great breakfast with local jam and honey; It is a big house and the staffs are friendly.
Cons: Couldn't think of any.

Lindau - Gastenaus Ladine ~€55 Double + Breakfast
Pros: Friendly owner; Nice breakfast; Great price in Lindau
Cons: Room is large, but kinda rundown. Since we didn't make any reservation in Lindau and that's our only option from the tourist office. Usually the average room price is pretty high (~€70-90) in Lake Constance area.

Triberg - Haus-Birke - €56 Double + Breakfast
Pros: Lovely house on the top of the hill in residential area; Lovely owner; Big window offers gorgeous view of black forest.
Cons: Couldn't think of any as we love this house alot; However we think it would be better to rent the room with kitchen and cook your meal as the local restaurants are not that good.

Colmar - Etap < €60 Double
Pros: Underground private parking; Clean; Mostly European travelers; No kids
Cons: Relatively small, but it's fine with the private secured parking

Near Heidelberg - Etap < €60 Double
Pros: Include free parking in front of the property; Clean; Mostly European travelers; No kids.
Cons: A little bit far from Heidelberg

Near Wurzburg/Frankford - Etap <€60 Double
Pros: Include free parking in front of the property; Clean; Mostly European travelers; No kids.
Cons: Kinda remote from everything; Located near car dealerships

We pretty much stick with Etap after our stay in Colmar coz they offers complimentary parking. Since it is a chain operation (like Super8 in US), their room are same in every city. Their rate varies from cities to cities at the range of €45-70.

Other choices to consider:
Berchtesgaden: Gastehaus Rupertiwinkel, our initial choice but it was fully booked when we changed our plan.
Rothenburg: Kreuzerhof Hotel Garni €58
Wurzburg: Pension Zimmerfrei Wurburg €49
