I also want something that is within walking distance to most of the sites and preferably doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Any ideas?

Julie, check the German hotel booking sites hrs.de and hotel.de as they've got the best rates for German business hotels. Now here is my Cologne hotels review. I've stayed at all of them and liked all of them:Radisson SAS: My favorite, queen size beds in every room, modern, stylish, great food, free WLAN, located a bit outside but with tram station right outside.

The new downtown Marriott: right behind the Hauptbahnhof but in a not so noisy side street, walking distance to everything, quite pricey. The Renaissance: Located at a nice suqare with plenty of night life, also in the middle of the old town, very American inside, great beds.

Location: About a 10 mins walk to the old town sights. The Maritim: All Maritim hotels are old-fashioned to ugly inside (they're not old, they just don't seem to have a good taste). Queen size beds, excellent location right in the middle of old town, moderate prices

Opps, since you can't edit or alter any posts here the correction of my typo: With regards to the Hotel Wasserturm: it's meant to say "all rooms are suites". Sorry...
