That is what I thought - not really any better than the pick your price on Priceline or hotwire.

But as gottaluv says you could get a really inexpensive 2 star room on Priceline or Hotwire. I just searched Hotwire and found rooms for as low as $33 for next week and $39 for next weekend.

On the drive, switch off halfway through each way as that would allow each of you to sleep a bit more on the ride there and back. When I used to do this, I used to stop at denny's or IHOP near the park. I would grab a bite to eat (saved $$ by not eating that meal in the park) and allowed me to take a change of clothes in to freshen up for my day in the park. Hope this helps!
