Hotel Garni Haus Gemmer
This modest inn just a 10-minute walk from the old town is more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. There is no lobby, and staffing is minimal--be sure to call ahead if you're arriving late so they can leave a key for you. There is no restaurant, but there is a generous breakfast buffet. Rooms are well kept and relatively spacious, but have only limited Internet access.

Tulip Inn Coburg
Business travelers not seeking charm can stay at this sleek, new chain hotel--formerly the Mercure Hotel--outside the city center. The modern rooms are good-sized, though amenities are limited. For instance, there is no fitness room and only a bar instead of a full-scale restaurant. But the hotel, which caters to the business traveler, gets good marks for service and a good breakfast buffet.
