Travel / Gniezno - the hardest city to get around? [3]

Will be visiting "The Nest" in September along with Poznan and Krakow. Me and my family speak hardly any Polish and all, and figure that Gniezno will be the hardest city to get around in as it is off the beaten path and probably has little tourist activity.

My great-great grandmother was born in Gniezno in 1876 and we believe came from Aristocracy.
Can anybody recommend a reasonable hotel? Are there decent hostels there? Places to eat and visit? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I've been facebooking native Gniezno residents as well

I've read much of the city via the internet, but was hoping somebody could share personal insight of Gniezno. Opinions, experiences, places to recommend, etc.

Off-Topic / Book: Gogol's Taras Bulba [37]

Anybody interested in the history of Zaphorizian Cossacks should read the Novella Taras Bulba...historical fiction that places you in the world of the freewheeling Cossacks, and their conflicts with Tatars and Polish nobleman...

Law / Im a Chicago Pole that may marry girl in Poznan (love / EU membership) [10]

I met online.
Half the reason is love, half the reason is to gain EU membership and Polish citizenry.
She told me we would have to be married 5 years for me to gain Polish citizenship.
I will meet her in September as she is my date for my cousins wedding in Puck
Im thinking about just marrying her as she is hot and smart, and would make me more Polish.
Any advice or experience? Anybody?
