About McMenamins Anderson School
On the outskirts of Seattle, we invite you to view school through a new lens. We revitalized Bothell's first junior high with pure fun in mind; for dining, moviegoing, live music, swimming, games, shopping, private events, meetings, tastings and all-around enjoyment for visitors of all ages.
No hall pass is needed to explore our multifaceted grounds. Have a handcrafted beverage in the hallway.
Order drinks in the Principal's Office, play pinball in The Woodshop, and forgo the lunch line for casual, sophisticated dining at The Tavern on the Square, surrounded by lush courtyard space in place of concrete. Escape the everyday at the North Shore Lagoon; swimming and South Seas rum drinks await.
We invite you to explore the reimagined space around you—all 5. 41 acres!

Difficult to locate entry and front desk for hotel in the dark.

Still need old fashioned shampoo,not in the shower but packaged

Hotel guests should get a free pass on movies.
Cindy
We left a battery power bank. Went back to get it and the staff had it at the desk waiting for us. So thankful! Great place!
Carol
Housekeeping did not make up my bed on the second day although I was out of the room until dinner time.
Margaret
Very comfortable bed, nice big room. Fun property!
Brittany
Pool is amazing. Kids had a great time. Room service is only available for breakfast, and this location does not have a hot tub, but none of that took away from the awesome experience.
robert
Everything was great and loved the vibe and feel of everything. The only critique I have is the food at the Tavern, which is the only place we ate. It was very bland so that was disappointing. And looking at the reviews for the other restaurants at the hotel were mediocre so we didn’t want to try it. Overall It looks like it’s a very family/kid friendly place with a gigantic pool. The fire pits in the center of the property is nice to have. If you’re not a huge foodie, then this is a great place

Breakfast delivered to your room upon request. Restaurants on the premises. Uniques atmosphere. Comfortable room.
Jodilyn
Really the only thing that was not excellent was trying to sit in the theater with those weird trays and eat a regular meal. I ended up with food down to front of me was uncomfortable to sit there It would’ve been nicer to have a table or something that was more appropriate to have a meal next time I would probably choose to eat dinner before seeing a movie and I wasn’t super thrilled with the breakfast items on the room service menu. The prices are also ridiculously high for drinks and for food, butother than that everything at this place was fantastic, clean, bed was comfortable, room was amazing and the staff was awesome. Definitely will be back to stay again.
James
Signage is horrible. Large multi-use parking lot with no signs as to where check in is. Again, because of multi use property, it is extremely hard to find parking on site.
Laurie
There were some cobwebs in the room and you can smell smoke from the fire pit and a loud noise at night that hurt the ears-not sure where it came from-but the restaurant/tavern/amenities was great-Also, I checked out and the guy said that’s it-thanks without putting my name in the system-then I get a checkout email asking if I’ve checked out
Chris
When I checked in around 10pm the staff member didn't say one word other than can I see your ID. Very transactional. Acted like he wanted to go back in the back- room and go back to playing video games. I couldn't believe it. Had to ask him one more question which was simply if it would be possible to sit outside with a fire going or something to enjoy our drink from the bar. He thought about helping but decided it was too much for him to provide any customer service he told us no and that was it. Overall the property was amazing. Everyone other than the late night check in guy was awesome. Not sure how a classy place like McMenamins let that guy slip through the Crack and get a hospitality service job.
MARINA
I got no rest what so ever at this place, loud music and people talking till almost 3am the whole building makes noise maybe being old but the pipes in the building creek. Its cool place to visit, but wont ever spend 150.00 on a night that wouldn't allow me to sleep in peace.
Denae
To pricey for what you get.
Jordan
Lackluster servers and poor customer service
Hafiz
We had a little staycation and wanted to extend our weekends... The hotel and room is beautifully restored. I wish I had more time to explore all the great historic photographs scattered through the buildings. The room was lovely (on the third floor) with super high ceilings. We were able to enjoy a late night bite at the bar and was able to walk out dog on the grounds. We'd totally would come back.
Heidi
Mcmenamins Anderson school is hands down our favorite place to stay!!! This was our 3rd trip. We went swimming this time and the pool is so amazing love the bamboo water shoots! We had lunch at the wood shop 😋 DELICIOUS! We will be staying here as often as we can and hope to enjoy more of your propertys!
Erica
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time, thanks to the excellent restaurant and market on offer. The staff provided top-notch service with their helpful and kind attitude. Furthermore, the cleanliness and comprehensive amenities added to our satisfaction.
Elizabeth
Lovely stay!

Coffee in the room please.
Sara
Stayed for one night for a bike overnight adventure. It was great- beautiful grounds, drinks, food, and a movie! Beautiful location right off the amazing Burke Gilman/Sammamish River trail. Only thing missing was a hot tub.
Stephen
We enjoyed our mid-week stay. It was clean, comfy, and quiet.
Monica
Beautiful area!
Hunter
Everybody was super nice and the checkout time was fairly lenient I absolutely loved the atmosphere it was super great would definitely recommend if youre staying in washington!!!
Regina
Fun campus style hotel! The only thing I would have liked to have in the room that wasn't present is a coffee machine and fridge.
Frances
A beautiful property and unique rooms and restaurants options. And a great value.
Courtney
Clean room, polite staff, very cool property. Loves the choices of restaurants and the pool!
Linda
Great campus and venue for shows
Brandon
Great rooms, super fun vibe, makes for a quirky staycation
Megan
Very fun! Love being able to have coffee in the morning.
Tigg
Great room, great location, great food and drink options. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because the shower never got hot. Lukewarm showers kinda suck.
Nicholas
the room was immaculate and staff we encountered at Nui Nui and front desk were friendly and assisting.
we would stay here again.
we would stay here again.
Alexis
The room wasn’t ready when we checked in 40 minutes after their scheduled check in time and there was mold under the caulk in the shower and room. We’ve been to this property before when it first opened and had no issues and this experience was mostly positive, just a couple small things to not get complacent on would be great.
Terry
My room was very comfortable and large. I loved the big windows. The staff was extremely accommodating at the hotel and at he restaurants. I will definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family and will come back.
Ashton
LOVED staying at the Anderson House! Such a unique and fun vibe. Every person we interacted with working at the hotel were so warm and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Will definitely be coming back!
Sarah
The rooms need refrigerators to keep beverages in and for medical reasons. The room was OK. Heating was so so in the room.
John
Love McMenamins. Fun atmosphere. Great service.
Paul
Cool place, shuffle board, great bar, good food, comfortable cozy rooms.
Ed
This place is amazing. From the hotel to the Tavern. Highly recommended. Five stars plus

The school theme made my stay more engaging and fun. All the extra little places were easy to find and explore. The staff was helpful and friendly everywhere I went. The food was pricey but delicious. I would stay again!
Kelly
Whole experience. Staff, food, atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Tonnie
So much fun here! Great property, no need to go anywhere else. Spacious, clean room.
Chris
Clean place with lots of activities and a great staff
Tina
We only had dinner there at the Tavern it was excellent! We loved dinner. The room was tidy however no amenities like shampoos, lotion etc. the bed was hard as a rock made my hips hurt laying on it. Temps went from hot to cold back and forth. Very loud street noise however easily blocked out with my white noise on my phone. No refrigerator in the room that would have been nice with some waters, staff doesn’t offer any help with luggage. Other than those minor inconveniences the grounds were beautiful I love the artwork everywhere and all the interesting lighting. The trails weaving around the wonderful landscaping is just magical! I wanted to see the movie but no time.
Mark
A truly unique property made us feel as though we stumbled across a hidden gem. Staff were friendly and professional, regardless of front desk, bar, restaurant or housekeeping. Try it, you’ll like it.
Suzanne
Cool vibe and beautiful grounds. Love the grateful dead theme. We brought our dogs and that was a plus to have them welcome.
The really only drawback was the breakfast service. It was actually terrible. Slow and unresponsive. The food was good when it came but the order wasn't as requested and took a while to correct. I also don't like the dark French roast coffee but that's just my taste. It would be nice to have a medium roast available as well.

The only improvement would be to improve the water pressure in shower.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

We had a great stay here!
Susan
i didnt see alot of staff, one ones i did encounter were helpful and friendly. the grounds were incredible. The beer was delightful as was my room
Desiree
Super fun, unique property. Family friendly options. Kids LOVED the pool. Adults loved the artistic flare in a historical location. Bonus points for free robes to walk across the lot in the chilly weather to the pool!
Jessie
Fun experience
RICK
It's always been a fun place, and the various offerings there are a benefit. The mouldings, however, in my room, were very dirty and dusty. All else great.
Patricia
A Must Stay for Fun & Comfort
Our room was spacious and bed was very Comfortable. The room had a great air/heating system and easy to operate. Shower was good and products were nice. The pool was large and a fun place to start off our morning! The property was beautifully decorated and easy to walk around. A map was provided at the hotel when we checked in. Even though this property was in middle of downtown, it was quiet and parking was easy.
Michael
No Notes
I love this place. No notes!
Chelsie
I've been to quite a few McMenamins properties, but this one is my favorite. I LOVE all the plants and trees around the property. The outdoor fireplaces were really cozy, and the whole place felt magical. All the staff we interacted with were very nice. The food was great, too! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Heidi
We loved this hotel so much we stayed on the property and made full advantage of the surroundings. There is so much to see! The grounds are charming and well lit- we ate at 3 of the restaurants- had 1 vegetarian with us and she was able to find something interesting to eat at each restaurant. I noticed people strolling the hallways on several occasions to look at the artwork, history on the walls. This is a well done, friendly, non-cookie cutter hotel which will mesmerize everyone. I've stayed at another McMenamins hotel in the past and enjoy the originality of each! The lagoon pool is wonderful! We had a great time here.
David
There are so many restaurant choices and things to do that we will have to come back to experience them all.
Patricia
It is great that it is pet friendly-including the outdoor areas of restaurants! In the down side the designated pet rooms are on the lower level like a daylight basement. Our room stunk like a dirty dog. Thankfully, upon our request the staff moved us to a nice room on floor 3. We ate both dinner and breakfast at The Tavern. Dinner was fine. Breakfast was delicious! Hotel parking is hard to find when the restaurants are busy.
Annika
Convenient, nice amenities and staff.
Steven
First time at McMenamins
We loved the gardens and the lessons in local history. We wish we had more time to enjoy it. We’ll be back!
BRANT
An interestingly converted school and grounds. Staff were attentive and friendly. A much more interesting option than cookie cutter budget hotel chains.
Christopher
The Facilities were cool. The Bars were fun to hang out and relax, and the food was good. The room was nice and had a home-like feel. The 3 things that got to me was the lack of a mini fridge, and the chairs in the room were like ones from an old dining set. They were nice looking, but not comfortable at all. This led to sitting on the bed rather then the chairs and that didn't leave support for the back. Therefore I ended up not spending a lot of time in the room. The last thing was the shower. It was very small. That being said, I could deal with that, but the water pressure was barely more then flicking water with your fingers. I've seen it rain harder then that in the PNW. With those 3 things being the exception, it was a good stay.
Diva
Saw a movie what a nice option
Allison
Great location for attending an event at Chateau St. Michelle! Loved checking out the different bars and having so many ammenities in one place.
Michaela
Everything was unique. Fun and informative rooms and hallways, cozy accommodations, lovely grounds, fun restaurants with good food and fun themes. Eat-in movie theater with first run movies. Loved it and recommended to visitors. Will go back!
vicki
Excellent property with lots of activities, bars and dining options.
Robert
Unique and charming Hotel with adjoined restaurants and grounds. Old converted schoolroom so rooms are a bit sparse. Wifi was horrible so not good for business stay.
Patricia
Beautiful gardens & grounds. Friendly & helpful staff. Great drinks at Nui Nui, the tiki bar above the pool. Room was large and comfortable; however, the bed pillows were ready to be replaced. I was looking forward to enjoying some time in the pool, but I was disappointed to find the pool really crowded due to swimming lessons. Overall, it was a nice stay and I liked how McMenamins repurposed an old school and created a unique experience for guests that included local history and fun artwork throughout hotel & restaurants.
Shannon
It’s ok
Really cool place. Kind of a destination hotel. Front desk staff was super. Would have given better review but service at the restaurants was horrid. Started at NuiNui and left after 15 minutes of absolutely no service. Went to the Woodshed and was getting ready to leave when I was finally acknowledged. Food was fine but nothing to write home about
Kevin
Great stay for couples.
The Anderson School is a great location. Beautiful garden area to just sit, enjoy a beverage or meal. The pool is very nice too. Love the tiki bar!! Always enjoy our stays at the McMenamins locations.
Sarah
We love the vibe of Anderson School! It feels like you are nestled away in a quiet spot even though main streets border the property. Lots of restaurant/entertainment options and friendly, responsive staff. We'll be back!
Steve
Woodshop service a bit slow on Friday night die to unforseen circumstances they did their best to compensate for the delay
Bo
The second time I've stayed at this hotel. I picked the hotel because my kid likes the movie and the swimming pool. Because summer, the hotel has an old smell and the rooms feel stuffy. I hope to open the window, but it is not openable. I had a hard time sleeping, but all the kid-friendly features are good.
julie
Highly recommend
Excellent place to stay.
Jane
A great trip for the family with a fun pool!
Susan
Staying in a converted school was a uniquely fun experience!
Aaron
The hotel, restaurants and gardens are great! I really enjoyed walking around the facility.
Raul
The bars and restaurants are great. Good food and staff are very friendly. Whimsical deco thru out is fun and interesting. Rooms are unimpressive. Dimly lit, so they provide a flashlight?. Pedestal sinks in bathrooms, so not much space for toiletries, makeup, etc. Shower head had poor water flow, but enough to get job done. Coffee they provided was good first day, but weak the next.
Ramona
Wonderful local resort
Dennis
Our entire stay was excellent, except it took 2 days for the A/C to cool the room to a satisfactory level. Service, cleanliness, and food and drinks were outstanding. Live music was an unexpected bonus.
Char
Rooms need mini refrigerator and coffee maker
Paul
Great bars to visit
David
Adorable and cute come to mind. Excellent service. We enjoyed our stay.
Elizabeth
This place is not worth the fee. Great concept but poorly executed. Beds are hard and pillows are small, cheap plastic shower stalls and food is underwhelming and over priced.
T'ana
They gifted us a bottle of wine for our anniversary. So sweet. Everyone was so kind and helpful.
Taylor
This hotel is very cool, absolutely love the chill atmosphere and cozy aesthetic. Plus the landscaping is beautifully done, love all the native and edible plants. Overall excellent, drinks were great, staff were friendly, I would 100% stay here again and recommend to friends and family.
Jeff
Great atmosphere, we especially enjoyed the pool.
Lisa
Quirky and fun. Rooms lack a fridge and coffee/coffee maker. No decaf. Coffee limited to the morning, only. Did not clean room (no clean room please signage). Staff was friendly and efficient.
David
Room was extremely small not suited for a wheelchair bound person.
Walter Relf
My experience was good. I like the size of the rooms.
Fleur
What a fun place to stay!
Robyn
We love staying here! Great restaurant options, lots to do there, beautiful grounds. One thing I wish the hotel would consider is keeping the bars open til midnight, even during the week. Also, its fun to stay on the 3rd floor where the principals office bar is. However, disappointing that we were there on a Tuesday and its only open fri/sat. Overall though, always a great place to stay.
