Area Residents living less than a 70 km distance from the hospital do not qualify for advanced and multi-day bookings. When all other eligible room requests have been filled, area residents may be booked on a case-by-case basis and at the discretion of the Family Accommodations team for same-day, single night bookings.
We offer one room per family, and we reserve the right to assign and reallocate rooms based on the number of occupants staying onsite.
Exclusion criteria: Due to the high demand for our rooms, we are unable to accommodate guests who are not clients of our hospital. Please see our Local Accommodations Guide (PDF) for a list of alternative accommodation options.
