You will have to drop you car at Astore and hire jeep for Deosai plains. In this case you will not be taking your car to Skardu. Astore Deosai road can not be done on a car. You may take the car there but you will regret. you may even get stuck at some places in water or bad patches on the road.
The other way to Skardu through Jaglot is also in very bad condition bcoz of road renovation. It will take around 9-10 hrs to cover 171 kms. It is reachable for cars though

cant take car to skardu via deosai
you need add an extra day and take car via jaglot

hotels depend on your budget
there rooms available from 4000+ in all places you will be staying
so google a couple of hotels and get some idea.... and phone numbers for reservation as its a busy time

Your plan sounds good but be extremely careful due to monsoon floods and land sliding in Northern areas. Few deaths were reported in last 3 days and numbers could go higher; still many locals are missing
