You can just rock up to motels (assuming you’re booked in advance for the first night at least) but it’s the usual gamble of an event meaning prices are sky high or worse in some areas no rooms being available at all, or the rooms being a complete bargain.

Places like Yosemite need booking well in advance and they do sell out.

San Francisco can be very expensive and that’s one I would book in advance.

Where else would you be going?
