Lodging

Patients and their families from out of town have a number or resources from obtaining short-term as well as longer-term housing accommodations.  While UCSF has no on-site housing for patients, it maintains extensive local listings of hotels, motels and short-term apartment rentals.  Please visit the UCSF Housing Services Website for more information.

The Short Term Lodging Guide [PDF] is also available for download.

Patients may also call the Referral Center at (888) 689-UCSF or send an email to referral.center@ucsfmedctr.org for assistance. We recommend making lodging arrangements as far in advance as possible because of the tight supply in the SF Bay Area.
