Reservation or No Reservation?

My wife and I roadtrip a lot. You often don't know when you've just had enough and will stop for the night. Only once due to a NASCAR race we didn't know about were we turned away and suggested heading down the interstate another 25 miles. No problem, certainly don't get rude about it. We just figure most hotels have a vacancy somewhere. Short roadtrips we tend to have advance reservations for accommodations.
