Need some advice on where to stop for the night driving from Vancouver, Canada to Boston, MA, U.S.?

I am going to drive from Vancouver, B.C., Canada to Boston, MA and this route via I-90 is about 5100 km. I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on where to stop for each night on my way to Boston. (i.e. what cities or town should I stop at?) it'd be approximately 1000 km/day

    Trying to find a particular hotel / motel in an area you know nothing about is frustrating. It's easy to find hotels / motels along any route you take whether your driving through the states with cheaper fuel costs or in Canada. If you are going to use a GPS unit you can easily find a place to stay and don't limit yourself to 1000km per day. Get up early, just before dawn and be on the road at first light to get as many miles done as you can before the traffic starts to build and stop driving with about an hour of daylight left to find your room before dark because You shouldn't drive at night looking for a place to stay in unfamiliar surroundings. If you have a laptop with you then you can pull into a McD's or other places that have free wifi and use Google maps to find places close by for eats and places to sleep.

    With its mountain foundation and urban beaches, Vancouver has the rightly received standing of being one of the most wonderful towns in the world, with hotelbye you can have the opportunity to see this amazing city. One of the places you need to see in Vancouver may be the Downtown Vancouver. Downtown Vancouver is brilliantly found on a peninsula in the Strait of Georgia bounded to the south by the delta of the Fraser River and to the north by a heavy fiord achieving much inland. Here you may also start to see the frequently snow-covered stages of the Coast Mountains. Stanley Park is one of the very visited parks. Is really a lush Peninsula Park of big woods nearby to Downtown Vancouver. A paved seawall way encircles the natural space, and many guests take the time to investigate on foot or by bicycle. Inland, the park offers many things to accomplish, and readers may invest a complete day exploring attractions including the totem poles at Brockton Point to the west shore sea living at the Vancouver Aquarium. Magnificent opinions certainly are a standard through the park.

    The motels in smaller cities are usually much cheaper than in the big cities or suburbs. There are plenty of good ones on that route. I've made that trip quite a few times in the last decade. Don't plan on where to stop or you could waste a lot of time. Just drive until you feel like stopping.
