When you input a city name, without a state indicated, AAA.com may have more than one choice for that city. AAA.com will warn you by displaying a list of city options. In order to continue, you MUST click on your choice, even if your choice is already the highlighted option.  When you click it will not move the choice to the top box nor will it change the box color.

After clicking on the city choice, scroll to the bottom of the page and continue your search for lodging.
