Hotel Issues
The United States Olympic Swimming Trials are being held in Omaha during our tournament. Due to this event in conjunction with ours, hotel space is at a premium. We are fortunate to have found a very reasonable rate. Our host hotel is the Comfort Inn and Suites. The rate for this hotel for the event is $84.00. The only way to book rooms is via the local phone
number, which is 402-934-4900. Please ask for
the tennis tournament rate. The hotel is located at 7007 Grover Street, Omaha NE
68106. This is two blocks off of the I-80 entrance, It is right across the street from the state's largest indoor water park, the Coco Keys. Reservations should be made at least 3 weeks in advance of the check in date. Remember hotel rates are at a premium during this time, so do not delay in making reservations, as we are unable to guarantee anything after the 3 week period.
