St. Cloud Hospital Gorecki Guest House
Conveniently located across the street from the St. Cloud Hospital, the Gorecki Guest House welcomes patients and family members who are receiving medical care in the St. Cloud community. The house offers 28 guest rooms in a comfortable, homelike atmosphere that allows families the opportunity to stay close to their loved ones.
Since opening in June 2009, more than 18,500 guests have stayed at the Gorecki Guest House from 84 counties in Minnesota, 49 states (and the District of Columbia) and from as far away as Canada, England, France, Spain and Kenya.
The comfort we provide not only impacts those staying at the house, but also helps patients in the hospital feel at ease knowing their family members are close by in a secure, welcoming environment
This beautiful home is maintained by a caring group of St. Cloud Hospital volunteers and staff, who are available to assist guests with their hospitality needs. The guest house does not provide medical care or assistance.
Gorecki Guest House is a proud member of the Healthcare Hospitality Network (HHN).
