being an Amerikkkan from rural upstate NY, i can say that yeah, the landscape in this area of the US is pretty boring. enjoy your generic forested mountains. the drive from NYC to Boston is only 4 hours and is mostly highways. the drive from Philly to NYC is under two hours and is just one big highway through the worst parts of New Jersey. however, the cities you chose are great, and small towns in the Northeast are generally very pretty, inviting, and interesting. there is a lot of history in the Northeast if you go looking in the right places for it, too. i would recommend the Hudson Valley in New York -- lots of really beautiful towns along the river itself, tons of historic landmarks, sailing on the river, etc.
yes, there will be motels or inns at nearly every town you stop at, although i don't really know much about prices. i suspect it strongly depends on where you are.
DO NOT COME if there is any possibility of snow, as it will make traveling nearly impossible. (although there is a certain je ne sais qois about being snowed in) this means anytime from November-March. if you come during the summer, don't expect it to be cool, because it won't be. it gets into the 100s (F) in July/August.
bonne chance, anon!
