Where to stay
New Ulm's one-night trip does not require a resort. Pick the room by the evening you want: Minnesota Street on foot, an easy full-service hotel return, a small B&B, or a simple roadside stay.
Four useful stay types
Downtown lodging keeps Minnesota Street restaurants and festival blocks on foot. South Broadway properties sit roughly two miles from the center and work better for free parking, pools, and road departures. Oktoberfest can close part of Minnesota Street and uses event-specific shuttles; Bock Fest provides a downtown shuttle because general brewery parking is unavailable. Confirm the current stop list before choosing a hotel around either event.
South Broadway
Best Western Plus sits roughly two miles south of central New Ulm. It suits families who want free parking, full breakfast, an indoor pool, and mobility-accessible room options; expect to drive to Minnesota Street, but the hotel is convenient for Schell's and Oktoberfest shuttle service when the event confirms it.
Downtown
The one-bedroom apartment puts the Glockenspiel, restaurants, and Minnesota Street closest on foot. A kitchen and private entrance suit an independent stay, but there is no hotel front desk, pool, or standardized accessible-room inventory; confirm stairs, parking, and cancellation terms before booking.
Historic house
Bingham Hall is at 500 South German Street, a few blocks from downtown, with four individually styled rooms and breakfast. Its published policy requires full payment, sets a two-night minimum on festival and special-event weekends, and limits refunds inside 14 days; confirm room accessibility directly in the historic house.
South Broadway
Harmony Inn is at 1901 South Broadway, about two miles from the city center. Choose it for free parking, continental breakfast, and pet-friendly rooms; plan to drive downtown, and verify the exact accessible-room features and event-weekend cancellation terms before booking.
