I have the opportunity to stop in Munich for three nights in December and I am looking for recommendations for a reasonable (3 or 4 star) hotel close to must sees. I would also love to get an idea of "not to miss" sites/day trips. I can walk, have no fear of trains, even brave enough to drive if need be. Thanks!

Hi faisey; Look at this for some information on Munich. inyourpocket.com ENJOY Iris

Thanks Gary I liked it better when it was Bavarianben.com! At least I could get that site right!

We were in Munich in December 2006 and it was awesome... we stayed at the Hotel Cortiina... GREAT location and a good hotel...

Thank you all so much -- your info is so helpful

I was in Munich in November two years ago and we stayed in Hotel Uhland - a nice, family-run hotel - http://www.hotel-uhland.de/. It's about 10 minutes walk from the main train station and about 20 minutes walk from the city centre. It's very close to the beer festival site which had a huge Christmas Fair at that time. The city centre also has a Christmas fair running.

We were only there two days so we only managed to see the city centre, had a long tour of the Residenz and spend one day in Neuschwanstein - very picturesque in the snow.
