Love this place. They really have helped me stay closer to my child at Rady’s children’s hospital. They help you in so many ways. Beautiful place and the rooms are spacious. They have a play area for children, a gym, a kitchen, extra restrooms. If you are allowed to stay there they provide everything so that you do not have to worry and just worry about visiting your child. It’s quiet so you don’t really hear your neighbors. It’s really great that they do these for families with sick children.

This place is amazing. It provides a place for families to stay that either cant afford a hotel for a month or a few weeks. They have a full kitchen and anything you could possibly need to survive during your hospital stay at rady. I cannot speak highly enough about what this place is able to give to families in need. For a parent who has a kid with a serious heart condition the last thing we wanted to think about was how we could afford a hotel room for three weeks. Hopefully you will never have to use this service but if you do this place has earned a place in our hearts. If I could give it six stars I would. The staff and the family staying there all super friendly and very helpful. I know for sure we will be rounding up whenever possible at McDonalds for the Ronald McDonald House.

Absolutely amazing staff and facilities. I believe there is about 55 rooms, and plenty of comfortable areas for parents and children. From activity areas for the kids to play, to class rooms for the kids to learn, this place has it all. They have an area for parents to take naps if they didnt have a room available at the moment, a chapel, wash rooms for you clothes, personal refrigerators to store your personal items, to a big cafeteria for dining. I really enjoyed the outdoor relaxing area with all of the plants and seating. It was very relaxing. God bless this place, and God bless all of the kids in need, and the staff that cares. In Jesus name, Amen.

Wonderful organization and nicest, most well-kept rmh facility and I’ve volunteered at 4 across the country.

This is a nice escape for parents/guardians and family members from the hospital which is right across the street. You can come here and eat, read a book/magazine, or play in one of the outdoor play areas. There is even a barbershop/salon if you need to get your hair cut. They do offer showers and toiletries of you need something. The staff here have always been friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious, its not McDonalds food either, which is nice. They offer a hot menu item which they prepare in the kitchen they also offer soups, salads, sandwiches/wraps if you would like that instead. The House is built into the South Parking Garage for super convenience. I highly recommend parking in the South Garage as the parking spaces are larger, and there are more spots here than in the Notrh Garage. You do have to pay for parking but, you can get it validated at the front desk.

Very nice place! They make the great effort to make a kid feel more like he is at camp.

Always fun, exciting and a Blessing to serve here. Lyon hearted!

For parents/guardians they have rooms. 3 meals a day, showers, library and computer access. As far as I know at no cost. It is run entirely by volunteers, funded by donations.

Really nice place they make you feel like home I was visiting them when my daughter and son had surgery they have 3 meals and you can shower there and wash clothes ect also stay there but i preferred to stay at the hospital because I live in San Diego and I think other people that come from far away will benefit of those rooms. God bless to all the people that make this place possible.

I have no words to describe this place without being to personal. My family was helped so much. So many many many children are sick and help is here! We have seen this place from the inside instead of just hearing about this place. Love comes from all the volunteers. We love and thank every single one of you for your time.

Volunteer and donate. Families are stressed but knowing that others care gives them the support they need.

The hospital gives you a notebook kind of thing that tells you about this and that, but its hard to pay much attention when your child is in the hospital for any reason, right? Well I actually walked in this place on accident after having a meltdown in the parking structure once my daughter was in surgery. From the time I walked in I felt immediately welcomed to give stress a time out. I was greeted with a quick but thorough explanation and with a genuine smile. The whole atmosphere and get down was welcoming all the way around. There was hot food, a salad bar, cozy tables, a lounging area, showers, and even a spot where you could rest your head. The volunteers were awesome and happy to be of service. I did not see one parent come out of there feeling a lot better than when they went in. Thank you to everyone who volunteer and thank you to the Ronald McDonald originator for thinking of everything possible to relieve the stress of parents of hospitalized children. Truly a Godsend, thank you so very much.

During our stay at Children’s Hospital, we visited the Ronald McDonald House for some well deserved rest and relaxation. My family was extremely impresed with the level of hospitality and care given to patients by the staff. In addition, the food selections were delicious and my kids who are picky eaters found items to satisfy their palate. Children’s hospital cares about their patients which is evident in the planning and construction of the Ronald McDonald House.

Ronald McDonald house is truly a blessing for every child and family member! They offer so many resources to those in need while they are staying here to spend their days with the patient. This place runs on donations and volunteer work. The spirit of love and giving thrives here everyday. It was a pleasure to volunteer in the cafeteria today. We served lunch to all who visited. Thank you for allowing us a guided tour through the facility!

Very nice place to go especially if your at Childrens Hospital they are literally across the street. Free meals to help, the inside is very clean and modern like.

We were at the hospital for a week and been coming to the house for meals.Such a wonderful stuff works there. Meals are always tasty and good portions.I never volunteered before, but I already handed in the application to join the team and help to grow Ronald Macdonald houseThank you from all our family

What a wonderful place for families going through times of trial and especially times of healing. Beautiful foundation indeed.

From the second you walk in your family. Ive never been treated with so much love and respect as I have when I walked into Ronald McDonald House charities. We had a beautiful girls choir girls making cookies helpful hands serving food and a lot of love. What an amazing place.

The rooms are very nice and clean and very spacious. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They offer free breakfast, lunch, and dinner and play areas for the children. Anyone who is doubting whether they want to stay there should definitely give it a shot. Youll find its a lot nicer than you think and the charity money is well spent.

My grandson was in the hospital. This place fed all the family everyday our baby was there. I bought their sweatshirts and we tell everyone how wonderful this place was to our family. We could give a donation for our meals. But many families cannot afford to eat out every day for weeks. The place is close by and offers rooms too if needed. The family style food is really good and healthy. There are couches all over a big room for more comfortable waiting. You are given a notification light up thing that told mom to go breast feed. We were given info and support. This is perfect place for families with a sick child.

I did a charity event here a few weeks ago and couldnt be more impressed. The staff was absolutely amazing and dedicated to the situations that life has handed children.It breaks your heart to see but this is reality in life. The kids are all amazing and their families are great. Really everyone involved is doing a fantastic job

I love everything about this place. Being a parent of a sick child is difficult, but a sick child that is hospitalized is extremely hard. They offer 2 meals per day with hospital wrist band, showers, nap rooms, long term rooms, information for people that are there from out of town, place for you to store your food and cook, music, fun, a BREAK from the hospital. The staff/volunteers are very supportive. Thank you for all your help!

Appears to be incredible aid to kids affected by unforseen conditions in their short lives. Often, a concern regarding charitable functions like this would include knowledge of contributions and how they may be dispersed. Hopefully, there is a conscientious allocation here that benefits the families seeking medical and financial aid. Based on my brief visit, I assume that to be the case. Staff, though numbering only a few interactions in my case, were very pleasant. All in all, a memorable, moving experience.

These people are a blessing during the hardest times of being a parent. If it wasnt for them I wouldnt have eaten while I was there with my son

Had an amazing experience, our daughter was there for three days on thanksgiving day and they really made us feel welcome on a very difficult situation. Words cant describe how grateful we are with the Ronald McDonald House of Charities for making it a little less hard on us. The personnel were all great every aspect possible.

Excellent and clean facilities with kitchens to even cook your own food while youre staying there if you have a sick child in the Childrens Hospital across the street. There is a voluntary fee of $50 per night per family, but only if youre able to afford it. Its like a hotel with private rooms, showers, recreational rooms, fully-equipped gym, patio benches with BBQs, a chapel, laundry room, library, and everything you need to make your stay a little bit more comfortable during a difficult situation like a sick child. They serve food 3 times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). The establishment is attended by employees and volunteers, and companies and organizations make donations to be able to run the place. They have strict housing rules but they do a terrific job keeping the place neat and fully stocked with essentials.

This place is amazing. People volunteer to feed and provide services to people in the hospital and their families. My wife and I were able to eat good food and spend some peaceful time while our son was hospitalized for a procedure. You can eat, bathe, kids can play, theres a place to do laundry, and even a salon. It was a a nice sanctuary for me and my family.

Amazing place for family to gather during hard times. The amenities are top notch and was made very comfortable

This is such a wonderful place for families with little ones in the hospital. And the people who volunteer thier time to help others in need is just so amazing, I feel blessed for having them when my family was in need.

Was there because my grandchild needed open heart surgery and places really great for the family keeping everybody together I like the fact that the meals are free and they prepare three of them breakfast lunch and dinner and if your stay is long enough you can qualify for your own little cupboard and your own the refrigerator. The only thing I did not like was that some of the food was rather spicy and I cant imagine a child eating that

I was here volunteering and you can absolutely tell how much the team here cares about what they do. Everyone was amazingly friends and helpful. I would feel very comfortable utilizing the service if needed.

Clean good place to get relief from the hospital stress with decent free meals

Staff members or volunteers have a great costumer services. Great variety of products for food for the family members and parents.

So much being done here. Friendly and caring people... almost all are volunteers.

When going through a hospital stay with a child this place is an oasis where you can take care of your basic needs. Overnight stay, laundry, or just a place to sit and be alone. There are daily meals and a small selection of books to fees your body and occupy your mind. All to try and ease the spirit through an adverse experience.

If you are looking for a charity that truly puts your money to work, this is it.

Very nice this place really go out their way to make you feel at home! Loved it!

Had so much fun volunteering me and my co workers from Safelite auto glass Awesome day it was.

I am very blessed to be introduced and brought over for our staying starting from the year 2014-2016, and now I am back now again with my son Ryder Cody Tudela Hocog. We just came back again on January 23, 2018 for my sons fourth year of his medical referral follow up check up again. They give super duper and best hospitality and treatments of best services to all the house-guests. Im very thankful and love all the staffs as well. Thanks again once more

Obviously they are a great to the sick children and their families that make their way there. They are also a great place to volunteer. They really know how to put you to work in the kitchen.

They are amazing offering 3 free meals a day for greenband visitors, also nap rooms, showers, free laundry facilities, some emergency hygiene products & clothes if necessary. Also offer haircuts, massages, computer/internet access & use. As well as a small outside playground.

This place was such a blessing! After being born my baby had to be transferred to Radys and we were lucky enough to get a room at Ronald McDonald House (right across the street from Radys) and it was such a great experience! They had meals prepared for everyone staying there and had snacks whenever we wanted them. The room was very nice and clean and everyone was so nice and helpful. I am so grateful to this place because we had a nice place to stay and were so close to our baby girl. If you like to give to charity, put this place in your list because they do great things!

This place is great! They have great food find rooms for families with children in the hospital, showers, a Barber shop, and other amenities. The volunteers are a nice and helpful.

Cant say enough good things about this organization. They were there when we needed them the most. Great play area for my son to play while his sister was in the ICU at Radys. Meals & showers for family. Amazing volunteers.

Wonderful place to be when your children are in Radys. You stay close, meals are provided. Amazing volunteers & staff. Family atmosphere.

This place is amazing. A lighthouse in the dark days of hospital stays.

I visited for a volunteer opportunity and was really impressed with the new renovations and the HUGE amount of services and compassion they offer for guests and families. THANK YOU for everything you do!!!

AMAZING PLACE HELPED MY FAMILY OUT SO MUCH WHILE MY 18 MONTH OLD SON HAS BEEN IN ICU FOR 3 WEEKS.

What a great organization. Friendly and caring. We were making and serving food that night.

Clean, plenty food, free laundry supplies and use of facilities, coffee or tea anytime, friendly staff and volunteers. The courtyard is beautiful.

This place a great for families that need it!! Awesome services!!

I have been at Radys Childrens Hospital for 3 days now. The Ronald McDonald house has provided free meals for us, a place for my son who is not in the hospital to spend some time with us while we are not home, and a place to help me stay up to date with all my assignments in my online degree courses by using their computer lab. Thank you so much RMH you have made this hospital stay a lot easier for us.

Honestly this is the nicest place for parents and children when you needed the most so thankful 🙏

There are no signs to guide you so if its your first time there you might get lost but its a clean large environment

This place helps for free with food, room to rest & shower when your family of a patient. Great job for those who have no money and live far.

Its very lovely and the staffs are very kind and helpful. You get the hot of meeting new people and making new friends.

Incredible place - very helpful to those of us in need.

Excellent charity house offering free food for parents of patients. Offers school instruction, child care, and has play areas suitable for children of all ages.

A place to find comfort and eat great food when you need most. Thank you.

Very helpful and welcoming to all families who have a child staying at the hospital.

My son spent seven days in the hospital and almost died the volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House said me three meals a day for free everyone had Smiles on their faces and were very kind I was going through one of the hardest things in my life and they really helped me out when I needed support they even have showers. Which is kind of a big thing when youre living in a hospital for a week with your child.

Helpful resource for families with children in the hospital. Friendly, caring, and compassionate staff and volunteers.

They give you excelente help and atencionI just loved it

A breath of fresh air during a time of great scare and uncertainty the diligence of those volunteering has allowed us to trust again something everyone can contribute to does make a change.

The San Diego Ronald McDonald House (across the street from Radys Childrens Hospital) is a beautiful facility set up in a myriad of ways to serve the families of children admitted to the hospital e.g. free meals, range tops to cook their own food if desired, laundry facilities, a chapel, indoor and outdoor play areas for children and much more.

The staff worked real hard to make our little feel safe and comfortable.

Went to help feed its such a positive place with so much going on

Great performance by Buddhas Light International Association, San Diego Chapter during Chinese New Year!

Excellent place loved visiting.

Our son was in the hospital for a week with multiple fractures, a brain injury and a terrible spinal/neck injury. Ronald McDonald House was a God send! They provided us with everything we needed to get through that week. It was one of the worst experiences of our lives and they made it bearable for us. We will forever be thankful and indebted.

Loved cooking dinner on Christmas Eve for the families staying.

Couldnt be nicer! Thank you all that donated to make this place possible!
