Staying outside of Frankfurt
Hello! I'm going to be flying into Frankfurt next month and I'm planning to stay in Mainz or Heidelberg. If anyone else has done this and can relate their experience I always enjoy suggestions and opinions! I would also like to know if anyone can recommend any hotels or hostels or B&B's in these areas. Thanks!!!

The big hotel in Mainz on the Rhine river is the Hilton. However, it is really starting to show wear and tear and has had some bedbug problems lately I heard. Its only a couple blocks over from the town center and clock tower.

Just came back from Mainz for the third time. It's not the most exciting town, but February is Fashing/Karneval time (weekend of 25-27) which Mainz & Cologne are well known for. It's a good place to hop on the Rhein river cruise and return by train.
I've also been to Heidelberg 3 times and enjoyed the castle ruin, student town, beerhouses.
