You don't have to date and you don't have to get a hotel room. I really hate it when people try to cry cultural foul and exaggerate the requirements to suit their way. Hotel rooms are in no way a requirement.
You already shot yourself in the foot because you said you met before, just not in the last 2 years. So it was okay for you to meet then, it is okay for you to meet now. You must see eachother in person in the last 2 years before filing. That is to prevent people petitioning for childhood friends and mail order brides.

It's not good for someone be stating information like facts (1yr rule) when it is not true. That can really impact someone on the site.
Here are some useful information for you:
If you are going to live in Arizona, here is an example. (University Of Arizona)


http://registrar.arizona.edu/residency/default.htm
"Residency classification standards and procedures at The University of Arizona are based on the Arizona Board of Regents Policy on Tuition Classification."
Requirements for Resident Status:

2a of Arizona Board of Regents Policy on Tuition = spouse residency
Good luck!
