My family and I are planning our first trip to Germany in early Summer. Arriving to Frankfurt's airport and then catching a train to Stuttgart for a two night stay. After Stuttgart, we plan to travel by train to Strasbourg, France, for another two night stay. Finally, catching another train ride from Strasbourg back to Frankfurt for our last two nights, before departing from Frankfurt's airport. I'm looking for any advice about the best trains/tickets to use (long distance or regional, flexible or saver) and about good family hotels close to the train stations. I am making the assumption that reaching the city centers and other attractions should be relatively easy from each of the train stations. Thank you in advance for any advice.

In Frankfurt, you do not need to stay close to the main train station. There are trains every 15 min. from the city center, going out to the airport. Look for hotels near the Hauptwache. Flemings, Moxy, Motel One, or high end - Steigenberger or JW Mariott.
