Translation of nearby in German

We sat on the balcony and saw that the hotel had even a pool on the roof top but I did not have the courage to jump in. It just looked to dirty and as no one was in there I did not need to be the first.
Nevertheless, I agreed to go there and check it out. It looked much better than the one that we booked in advance and we decided to stay there for two nights. It had a great pool and we were welcomed with drinks.
We asked for the price and were surprised to hear it: A hundred dollars a night. We were actually happy to hear the high price because we knew that if we would not find anything else there was still a good place to stay in.
