Many of the towns within 5 to 10 miles will have hotels. Ingelheim, Alzey, Bingen, etc. We have visited the area twice. Haven't stayed in the towns I listed, but have stayed in others. Mainz is also nearby. We have stayed in Osterrich, Nierstten and Oppenheim. You definitly need a car or some one to hall you around. Little to no public transportation between the small towns. Check Michelin Red Book for hotel listing and prices.
