Can someone recommend a decent hotel in the $80-100 range off I-5 no more than an hour north of SeaWorld? We are driving from San Jose to So Cal on June 25th. We were just going to go the 26th, as we have ressies at Portofino in Anaheim for 4 nights, but we decided to go to SeaWorld for 1 day on the 26th. So we will be leaving San Jose around noon or 1 on the Sunday, and want to stop somewhere probably 30-60 minutes north of SeaWorld that night. We'll go to SeaWorld the next morning and head back to Anaheim that evening. I'm avoiding San Diego, because A. we don't mind staying 30-45++ minutes away if we can save some money and B. we want to minimize the drive time as much as possible. I know with little traffic, it usually takes us about 6- 6.5 hours to drive from San Jose to Anaheim, but probably an add'l two hours to San Diego, right? We will have our 3 kids in the car with us, so we would rather keep it around 7 or so hours per leg of the trip. 
Any thoughts? I have a $50 credit on Expedia I want to use, but I don't know which city to do a search on for this area...THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ETA- our youngest child is only 1, so we don't need a hotel that sleeps 5 for just this one night. I'm hoping for a Comfort Inn type of hotel- a step up from Motel 6 or Super 8, but not a Hilton.
