Good timing MJF. I am planning a tour for next May to the German Castle Road and Romantic Road. Only last night I estimated that Metz is a good stop for our return journey, and I was wondering about hotels.
Novotel it is then.
We are frequent travellers to the Tyrol region in Austria and stay at the Novotel in Metz as a stop off. They aren't boutique hotels, but they are better than the Formula 1 hotels and are well situated on the motorways.
As Max5 says the motorway around Stuttgart to Munich is busy so allow extra time for that leg and don't forget to buy a vignette when you get into Austria.
