To help our guests understand the reservation process and policies in place at the UCLA Guest House, we have compiled a short list of important things to know for all of our guests. If you have any questions, please feel free to send us a message through our Contact page, email us directly at guesthouse@ha.ucla.edu, or call us at (310) 825-2923.
The Guest House is a non-profit public institution that is chartered to serve the temporary housing needs of those affiliated with or doing business at UCLA or the UCLA Medical Center. Our inventory of rooms is small and the University demand is quite high. Because of this, we will need to qualify your visit.
Reservations must be cancelled by 3 p.m. the day prior to arrival to avoid a one-night room charge. Please contact us at guesthouse@ha.ucla.edu or 310-825-2923 and we’ll take care of it.
Guests may check in after 3 p.m. The registration desk is open 24 hours a day for late arrivals. Please alert the Guest House if you anticipate arriving later than 2 a.m.
Check out time is 12 p.m. If you need a short extension, please notify the front desk the morning of your departure and we will accommodate your request, if possible. For your convenience, the front desk can also store your luggage until your departure.
