We've had good luck with BW... plus they mostly seem to be owned by "local" people rather than the standard corporate-every-room-looks-the-same chain kind of places. There are probably many nice smaller independently owned places you might find on Booking.com.

We were in Bavaria in early October 2018 after previously visiting Switzerland. We were amazed at the cheapness of things in Germany. We could finally afford to eat out at pubs and restaurants, and buying groceries was great - a can of real beer cost less than a bottle of water!
I’d like to go back to Germany some time. Not only was everything reasonably priced, but I really liked a lot of the small towns like Regensburg and their historic buildings.

Exactly. There are also very nice B&Bs which you can often find just by walking round or calling at the local tourist board.

Garmisch is suffering a surge in virus cases right now. A young woman, employee of the US Army hotel, came back from a vacation in Greece feeling ill. She got tested and was told to isolate. Instead, she went bar-hopping. There were about 50 new infections from that event, and the number may be growing in the next 2 weeks. Bars and restaurants must close at 10 pm for at least the next week.
I think bars and restaurants must close at 10 pm in Munich as well.
So I'd avoid this area.

In Germany, esp if you are driving (but also by train/bus) it’s worth stopping for a stroll and a meal in places that are not of special interest to visitors but are still attractive and pleasant. We did that a lot, enjoying stopovers in places like Detmold, Bad Rappenau, Hattingen etc. No mention in the guidebooks but worth seeing anyway.
