A back-up Hotel can be www.chisosgallery.com (This place is managed by the folks at Marathon Motel.) In fact, the Marathon can direct you to another facility when they are full.
Or, The Gage if they have anything still available.
(from Terri Baker) FYI - the number for the Gage Hotel - per the website Big Bend Ride detail takes you to Hotels.com. They can only sell a total of three rooms and told me the Gage was full. I called the Gage directly and got a room because the Marathon has no rooms left. If you find yourself in this situation, just call the hotel directly at 1-800-884-GAGE.
