Between Shubarkuduk and Astana, by the logical route, you have Aktobe where there will certainly be a hotel, and I believe there is a highway motel in Qarabutaq.
The shortest route between cities in Kazakhstan is not necessarily the fastest. The road taking you from Atyrau to Shubarkuduk is basically tracks in the steppe, unless things have changed recently.
