I am trying to plan a trip to Germany and Italy next summer as a one year anniversary for me and my wife, which will hopefully be financed mostly by one of my university's travel scholarships. Basically the idea is to rent a car and, using his diaries (known now as the Italian Journey), follow Goethe's steps on the trip he took south through Bavaria and then down through Rome, all the way to the Bay of Naples and Sicily, then back. We plan to look for cheap inns in the various little towns we plan to visit, but are unsure how to find them beforehand.
1) Have you ever traveled and just hoped that you would find a good inn upon arriving in a town? If so, how did that work out?
2) Are you familiar with books like Fodor's and Lonely Planet? Would one of these be helpful for what I'm doing?
