I did not realize that Octoberfest starts on 9/20 when I planned this trip. I have already made reservations on a night train from Munich to Rome on the 21st so we need to be in Munich then. Looking for a place with a reasonable rate. Also, what does "red light district" mean in Germany? I saw an hotel with that description with one of the cheaper rates -- still more than we had planned to spend. Thanks for the advice - it's appreciated.

You picked the most expensive time of the year to travel to Munich. You're not likely to find a "reasonable" rate. My advice? Grab a guidebook, and start checking for a vacancy NOW. This close to Oktoberfest, your going to have to take what's available, you simply won't have much other choice.
