Hotels within walking distance of the hospital, sorted by measured minutes on foot, with kitchens and the nearest pharmacy, and free and charity lodging first.
Most need a referral from the hospital's social worker or lodging office (hospital website), and have waiting lists: call ahead. Hotels: ask for the patient rate.
No main entrance is mapped for this hospital yet, so walks are measured to the nearest edge of its grounds on the map. The walk to the door you need can be a few minutes longer. Map checked November 2026.
Pick one or more. Nearest to the hospital first.

Before you book
Our map puts 3 no more than about 10 minutes away on foot, and 6 no more than about 20. No main entrance is mapped for this hospital yet, so walks are measured to the nearest edge of its grounds on the map. The walk to the door you need can be a few minutes longer.
Yes, the map shows 2 charity or hospital house(s) nearby, such as Alexander Ave at Vance St (Ronald McDonald House). Most need a referral from the hospital and have waiting lists.
