I admit, Feuchtwangen was not my first choice; but Dinkelsbuehl was apparently full, and this charming small town turned out to be just as nice - thanks in large part to this fine old hotel and its excellent restaurant. It's located on the very picturesque market place (with outdoor seating) in a pair of quite old buildings full of antiques and character. Very friendly personnel, free wi-fi, and an ample breakfast. No on-site parking, however, so unless it's a weekend you may have to park some distance away.
The only real drawback, common to most German hotels, is that when it gets real warm (as it was on my visit), there’s little you can do, absent a/c or even fans, but leave the window open. In this case (I may have had a less expensive room), in lieu of a window there was just a door opening onto a small courtyard where other guests sometimes congregated - a little more privacy, as well as quiet, would have been nice (and would have meant a 5th "star").
Overall, however, a very pleasant stay: dinner was great, and while it didn't take long to walk around this small town, it was a pleasure to do so, with some picturesque streets, several nice small parks, and plenty of benches along the way.
