I have been stressing out about hotel reservations!  Apparently St.George has a limited number of hotel rooms (the whole reason for the lottery), and I was an idiot to think that I'd be able to find a hotel room for marathon weekend.  I waited until a week after the lottery results had been posted to even start searching for a room.  After checking the hotels and spas in the St. George area, I resigned myself to the fact that I would not be staying close to the marathon finish.
Solution?  I gave up!
I decided to look for the most interesting place outside of St.George.  The Super 8 and Motel 6 were just going to have to rely on other marathoners to take their rooms.  If I wasn't going to be in the hubbub, then I was going to stay somewhere nice. 
Found!  The Desert Pearl Inn. http://www.desertpearl.com/
Looks pretty!
