Pension Peters in Berlin. We had a very large room, good location to S Bahn and walking distance to the Zoo. Nice staff
Pension Winzerhaus in Bacharach: Nice couple that runs the place, easy walk to town, we also had a good size room.
I highly recommend all the places listed above.

Best: Hotel Rathausglöckel in Baden – Baden
Why: Location was great. Close to everything, especially the baths. Walk down the block to both baths. We prefer the new one, Caracalla. After touring the town we just caught the bus to take us up the hill. The restaurant in the hotel was great. Free internet. Great informative staff.

Worst: Rothenburg
Why: I study the German language and culture and love most all parts of Germany - the modern, the quaint, the busy and the oft overlooked. Rothenburg, for all of its old charm and historical value, made for a disappointing visit. It is overdone and shamelessly touristy. The American high school band performing in the main square was probably the last draw for me after a day of fanny packs and uninterrupted English.
Regardless, the accommodation recommendation of Pension Pöschel was spot on (a great place to spend the night and to get one's fill in the morning) and I thoroughly enjoyed all of your suggestions beyond the city wall.
