UVA-provided lodging information  UVA has both a Ronald McDonald House for families with children and a Hospitality House for adults ($10/night/person). If staying at the Hospitality House, we recommend earplugs and a white noise device (it’s near the frats and sororities), a pillow, and, if a hard mattress bothers you, a twin-size foam pad. Family members who are sleeping in the hospital can also use the Hospitality House for showers. The link above provides information about these lodging options as well as local hotels and pet boarding.
