I have edited this post to reflect some changes that I discovered in the morning when we woke up! Apparently the owner is still alive an well (we assumed he was not here anymore as we didn't see the guy described in the Rick Steves book) and the confusion around our reservations was figured out. Read below...
We are staying in Gasthaus Raidel in Rothenburg. It is in an 600 year old building so it is quite "authentic". We have a shower in our bedroom but not toilet. The toilet down the hall (the only one in the building that I can see) has no toilet paper, so it is quite challenging to go to the bathroom. I am not sure what is going on, but this place was recommended by Rick Steves' book. Later on we discovered more toilet paper, so I think they just got behind (haha) on it yesterday.
The room would be better but the lamp is broke so we are using the nasty overhead light. The lamp is apparently under repair, so who knows if it will come back to use for the evening. The floor is squeaky (fine with me as it is an old building). At first we thought they lost our reservation, but then we discovered that I had clicked October instead of September on the reservation form, so they had us booked for next month. Luckily they had a room, but I think it is the 'room of last resort' that they give to dumb asses such as myself. Our 'real' room for next month apparently has a complete bathroom in it and non-squeaky floors. However, we won't be able to take advantage of that as we won't be here! I have to hand it to the hotel on the ability to adapt to my mistake, but I guess in the worst case scenario we would have found another room down the street.
