Hello Sam and all fellow travelers. I wanted to tell you all about a wonderful hotel tucked away among the cliffs on Zion National Park in Sprindale, Utah. It is called the Desert Pearl Inn. (I used to work there -- horrible job but great hotel nonetheless). It's only about a mile from the entrance to Zion National Park. The decor is something very unique to Utah.. A kind of contemporary meets ultra modern meets the southwest sort of feel. You can get a sense of the rooms by going to Desert Pearl You can either get a room facing some wonderful cliffs of Zion Park or rooms that face and are just a few feet away from the Virgin River. The only downside to the hotel (they refer to it in the lobby as an "Inn") is that there is no restaurant at the location but there are many fine restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Check it out and enjoy!!
