There are a couple of motel coupon sites available.
http://www.travelcoupons.com/
and
http://www.travelcoupons.com/
come to mind. You can download their coupons before you come. These
coupons are usually only for drop in use and a single night although
there are exceptions. Both have coupon books that are usually available
at state travel centers. Alas, these are usually at the stare borders
on the interstates.
Along with the everglades you should, at least, drop thru the keys. If
swamps are your thing drop up to Southern Georgia. The Okefenokee is in
much better shape than the everglades. The latter has been under attack
for a century and is a mere shadow of its reputation.
