Hotel Information
The Whitten Inn is the “official hotel” and it is five minutes from the Arlington Tennis Center but it really isn’t walking distance with racquet bags, etc. They will have a “free” shuttle service to and from the tennis center so you will not need to rent a car. (Please give the front desk at the hotel at least thirty minutes to one hour notice for your departure time and pick up time.) The Whitten Inn also serves a complimentary continental breakfast each morning between 6:00 – 9:30 am. The special “Little Mo” rate is $62 per night (mention Arlington Tennis Center/Little Mo to receive the rate.) The Whitten Inn is not a full service hotel with room service. If you would like a full service hotel, we recommend the Marriott, the Hilton or Crown Plaza which are all near I-30 and 360 by the Six Flags Amusement Park in Arlington.
