At this time of year that means 14 hours driving a day !
This is NOT a good idea in my humble opinion , better to aim
for 8-10 hours.

There are other chains to pick, Super8 and Red Roof are usually good

I've driven Route 66 and would recommend Tom Snyders book titled
Route 66: Traveller's Guide and Roadside Companion.
It has strip maps for the entire route and a lot of info
Must See stops are
The Gateway Arch St Louis
Meramec Caverns in Missouri
http://www.americascave.com/
The Cadillac Ranch in the Texas Panhandle
Tucumcari New Mexico - stay in the wonderful Blue Swallow Motel
The Meteor Crater in Holbrook Arizona , also drive by
the WigWam Motel
Petrified Forest NP in Arizona
The Grand Canyon
The section of Route 66 between Williams AZ and
Barstow California is not to be missed
