There are some picturesque places, but they're off the beaten path or different sections of interstate. The salt mines are where they store Hollywood firm originals & other valuables that require a controlled environment. I actually prefer the Cosmosphere museum instead. It has an SR-71 built into the lobby & a ton more space program artifacts than they have at NASA in Houston (minus the huge Saturn rocket). If you need to stop at a hotel along the way, I've found this one to have comfortable beds, clean space & a reasonable price.

As far as the motels, you might as well just stay in the cheapest ones you can find. If you're going to get the same thing whether you pay $100 or $30, you might as well save the $70. And we've found that some of the cheapest ones still have the fridge and microwaves, whereas the expensive ones make you pay if you crack open the bottled water they left for you and there's no fridge. You might get a "free" breakfast, but you could get a pretty sweet breakfast for less than $70 too. It's time to lower your standards... Did you stop and see the 5 legged cow?
