The trail conditions should be fine in both of these sections. There was some flood damage along the river last year, but that has been repaired (although there might be some soft spots in places).
As for lodging, both Rocheport and Rhineland have several nice options. I recommend checking for reviews from other riders on this website: click on Towns and Services, and then see the map with lodging options in each town. Click on options to see the comments. You may have specific things that you are looking for (nice beds, good breakfast, friendly hosts) that match others' experiences.
