What is the pool at R Nite Star actually like?
Our pool is an outdoor courtyard pool with space around it to sit, stretch out, and take a break. Loungers, umbrellas, and cabana seating make the courtyard useful when your group wants some time outside together, even if everyone is not swimming.
Think of it as the swimming portion of your hotel stay. You can plan a theme-park or water-park outing, return to your room, and leave space for a quiet swim if the pool is open. That gives your Arlington visit a place to slow down after an active day.
Seasonal availability matters. We do not publish pool hours or an opening season, so a warm forecast alone should not be your booking decision. Our amenities FAQ notes that Texas summers keep the pool busy through the warm months, but that does not establish availability for your particular stay.
Before reserving, tell the front desk your travel dates and explain that swimming is a priority. Ask whether the pool is expected to be open and what hours apply. If an evening swim is central to your plan, ask about that timing specifically.
Our hotel amenities also include features that support the rest of your visit, from breakfast to guest laundry. Evaluate those alongside the pool so you choose a hotel that works for your whole trip.

Should we choose Hurricane Harbor or spend time at the hotel pool?
Hurricane Harbor Arlington and our courtyard pool serve different purposes. Hurricane Harbor is Six Flags’ water park, with slides, a wave pool, and a lazy river. Our pool gives hotel guests a place to swim at the property without making another attraction the focus of the day.
You can include both in one stay. The useful question is how much activity your group wants, and whether you want to commit to a separate park visit or keep part of your schedule flexible.
Hurricane Harbor vs. our hotel pool
| Decision point | R Nite Star seasonal outdoor pool | Hurricane Harbor Arlington |
|---|---|---|
| What it is for | Swimming and downtime at your hotel | A water-park outing with slides, a wave pool, and a lazy river |
| Location | On the hotel property | 1.4 mi from the hotel |
| Cost note | Included for hotel guests | Park tickets are separate |
| Time planning | Confirm pool availability and hours with our front desk | Plan the park visit separately from your hotel reservation |
| Role in your stay | A place to return to between outings | A main activity for your Arlington visit |
How to read this table: Choose Hurricane Harbor when the water-park attractions are the reason for the outing. Choose hotel pool time when your group wants swimming at the property; a room reservation does not include park tickets.
For families, a water-park day followed by a quiet swim back at the hotel can work well, provided the pool’s hours fit. Leave the second swim optional so tired children and adults can rest instead.
Our guide to choosing a hotel near Hurricane Harbor can help you consider the hotel side of that visit. Keep the two decisions distinct: select your park outing, then choose a room and hotel schedule that support it.
How close are we to Six Flags and other Arlington attractions?
We are in Arlington’s Entertainment District on the SH 360 frontage, between Dallas and Fort Worth. That puts the main Arlington attractions within a few miles, at the hotel-published distances below.
Six Flags Over Texas is 0.7 mi away. That makes our property worth considering when your plan centers on a theme-park day with time back at the hotel afterward.
Hotel-published distances for planning your stay
| Destination | Distance from R Nite Star |
|---|---|
| Six Flags Over Texas | 0.7 mi |
| Hurricane Harbor Arlington | 1.4 mi |
| Globe Life Field | 1.7 mi |
| Texas Live! | 2.1 mi |
| Lincoln Square shopping | 2.4 mi |
| AT&T Stadium | 2.5 mi |
| University of Texas at Arlington | 5.1 mi |
| Restaurants | From 0.4 mi |
How to read this table: Use these distances to compare locations and group your outings. They are hotel-published distances, not promises about travel time or walking routes.
A focused itinerary usually makes more sense than trying to fit every nearby destination into one stay. Choose the outing that matters most, then decide whether shopping, a meal out, or swimming belongs around it.
If your visit includes a stadium event, check room availability for the actual dates before settling the rest of your plans. Room rates vary with dates, demand, citywide events, room type, and availability.
Our family guide to Arlington attractions provides another starting point for planning. Use the distance list to keep your choices practical, and leave enough room in the day to enjoy the hotel instead of only sleeping here.
Which room should we book for a pool-focused stay?
Start with sleeping arrangements, then decide whether you need a sitting area or cooking facilities. We offer eight room types, and the differences matter more than simply choosing a room name.
For families or friends sharing, our two-queen rooms sleep up to 4. For a couple, the Standard King offers a king bed, sleeps 2, and sits on the quieter back side of the property.
Room choices and the features that distinguish them
| Room type | Features to consider |
|---|---|
| Standard King | King bed, sleeps 2, quieter back side of the property |
| Standard Two Queen Beds | Two queen beds, sleeps up to 4 |
| Deluxe King | Updated interiors and wood-style flooring |
| Deluxe Two Queen Beds | Two queen beds, updated interiors, wood-style flooring |
| Premium King | King bed plus a sitting area with sofa and coffee table |
| Premium Two Queen Beds | Tufted headboards, most upgraded furnishings, sleeps 4 |
| Studio Mini Kitchen King | Kitchenette and king-bed room option |
| Studio Mini Kitchen 2 Queen | Kitchenette and two-queen room option |
How to read this table: Choose the bed arrangement first, then compare the features you will actually use. A kitchenette, a sitting area, and updated furnishings answer different needs.
Every room has a mini-fridge and coffee maker. Only the Studio Mini Kitchen rooms have a kitchenette, which includes a sink, two-burner cooktop, microwave, and full-height refrigerator.
Our Standard Two Queen Beds Room is a direct option when your priority is shared sleeping space. For more planning context, see our guide to a family hotel near Six Flags with two queen beds.
Some two-queen rooms have poolside views. Ask the front desk which options may be available for your dates; the specific room types with those views are not published, and a view is not guaranteed.

What is included, and how should we compare the total stay?
A room comparison should include the expenses and routines around your outing. Parking, breakfast, internet access, and room features all affect how a stay works, especially when you are traveling with children or staying beyond a single night.
We provide free parking, free Wi-Fi, and free breakfast. Breakfast is continental on weekdays and hot on weekends, so check which mornings fall within your reservation when making your plans.
Included features and decisions to make before booking
| Feature | What we provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pool | Seasonal outdoor pool included for guests | Confirm it is open for your dates if swimming drives your choice |
| Parking | Free parking | Include this when comparing the overall stay |
| Breakfast | Continental weekdays; hot weekends | Plan mornings around the breakfast offered during your stay |
| Wi-Fi | Free Wi-Fi | Supports everyday online needs during your visit |
| In-room basics | Mini-fridge and coffee maker | Useful when comparing room amenities |
| Kitchenette | Only in the Studio Mini Kitchen rooms | Select a studio if these cooking facilities are essential |
| Laundry | Guest laundry available | Ask the front desk about access and any charges |
How to read this table: “Free” and “included” apply only where stated. An available amenity, such as guest laundry, should not be treated as free without confirmation.
Our hotel is fully renovated and non-smoking. We also have an ATM and our own on-site R Lounge Bar. Ask the front desk about the bar during your stay rather than building plans around assumed hours or a menu.
For a fuller overview, read what is included in your stay. Then compare the room category and booking terms for your actual travel dates.
We do not publish a fixed room price here because rates vary. Booking direct can bring special discounts and 10–15% off multi-night stays; those offers may be non-refundable, so confirm the terms when booking.
How can we plan a park day and a quiet swim afterward?
Build the day around your main attraction, then fit swimming into the hours confirmed by our front desk. This works for a Six Flags outing, a Hurricane Harbor visit, or a local Arlington break when you want time at the hotel.
- Choose the main outing. Decide whether your group wants the theme-park experience at Six Flags Over Texas or the slides, wave pool, and lazy river at Hurricane Harbor. That choice gives the day a clear purpose.
- Confirm the hotel pool schedule. Call 817-652-3100 with your dates. Ask whether the pool will be open and whether its hours fit your intended swim before committing to a pool-focused reservation.
- Choose the room around your group’s needs. Two-queen rooms accommodate up to 4. A Standard King may suit a couple who values its quieter position, while a studio is the choice when kitchenette facilities matter.
- Leave a break after the outing. Return to your room and decide whether everyone still wants to swim. Keeping that decision flexible is more useful than promising children another activity regardless of how the day goes.
- Ask about towels and posted pool rules. Confirm what you need before heading to the courtyard. Adults should supervise children around the water and keep attention on them throughout the visit.
North Texas weather is another reason to keep the pool portion flexible. An outdoor pool should be one part of a workable stay, with room to adjust the day if conditions change.
Around the courtyard, use considerate pool etiquette: keep shared paths clear, respect other guests’ space, and follow the instructions provided at the property. We do not publish detailed pool rules here, so ask the front desk about any requirements that affect your group.
Can we combine the hotel stay with a celebration or group event?
Yes, we have hotel rooms and the R Nite Star Event Center on the same property. The event center hosts up to 350 guests, and group room blocks are possible on request.
That combination can be useful for a North Texas business gathering, family celebration, or other event with guests who want to stay at the property. Keep the event requirements and room needs clear when you inquire, particularly if attendees also expect time at the pool.
The venue includes a stage with stage lighting, a dance floor with lights, a complete audio/video system, an overhead projector and widescreen, VIP seating sections, two bars, and a backstage dressing room. Tables and chairs are provided, with flexible layouts.
We offer four event packages, ranging from Venue Only to Full Service with Catering. Event prices are quoted by date, guest count, and package; catering requires a minimum of 100 guests.
Ask event sales about your preferred layout and the services you need. Do not assume that an event package reserves the courtyard pool or changes its guest access arrangements; ask the front desk about pool use connected with a group stay.
For event availability, contact Rina at 972-352-0888 or submit the event inquiry form. Include your preferred date, event needs, package interest, and whether you want to inquire about rooms.
Submitting the form does not confirm a booking. Event sales confirms availability, and you should inquire separately about the room block you need.
How do we confirm the details and book direct?
If swimming is essential, start with the front desk before opening a room reservation. A room being available does not establish that the seasonal pool will be open during your stay.
Use this booking sequence to settle the details that affect your choice:
- Call about the pool. Give the front desk your dates and ask about availability, hours, towels, and rules. Mention any timing that matters, such as swimming after your park visit.
- Select your room type. Decide on beds and whether you need a kitchenette or sitting area. Ask about a poolside view if you want one, while understanding that it is not guaranteed.
- Review live rates and conditions. Check the offer for your selected dates, including any direct-booking or multi-night discount. Confirm whether the reservation may be non-refundable before paying.
- Plan for your arrival time. Reception hours are Sun-Thu 6:30 AM-2:00 AM, Fri-Sat 6:30 AM-3:00 AM. After-hours check-in instructions are sent by email and text.
Check live rates and book direct at secure.webrez.com/hotel/3014 or call the front desk at 817-652-3100. Tell us what matters most about your stay so you can choose with the relevant details confirmed.
Coming over from Dallas or Fort Worth for a weekend? The same three steps apply: confirm the pool, choose the room, and leave time for the courtyard.
