Are hotel reservations necessary in Iceland in April?

We just decided to visit Iceland April 1-9; that's in 3 weeks, which means we haven't done much planning or organization. We are wondering how practical it will be to improvise once we leave Rejkavik, driving along the loop road and stopping for the night at whatever hotel is convenient when we're tired.

Specifically, how conveniently are hotels located along the road? Are they spaced many hours apart, or can we hope to find one within an hour of deciding it's time? And how likely are they to have available rooms in the beginning of April?
