Perfect overnight stay
Another great McMenamins property. Close to the Sammamish Trail for a nice walk along the river. Fun weekend getaway.

First time to stay at The Anderson School and were pleasantly surprised. However when one thinks about it, they should not as it’s a McMenamin’s property.
Staff, food, ambiance and art make for a great stay. Just wish we stayed one more day to watch a movie and swim. Until next time.

First Stay at a McMennamins - Loved it!
This was such a unique and unexpected treat. The stay at Mcmennamins was only one night, but it became the highlight of my vacation. I love when there is something interesting about a hotel I am staying at and Anderson School hotel has interesting for days!
The former school is such a unique vibe for a hotel, but combine that with the way McMennamins has respectfully brought the stories of many former teachers, administrators, coaches and other local celebrities to life through Art was incredible.
There are three full restaurants on site. My wife and I ate at the Woodshop and played a game of shuffleboard while we were there. Then we went to Nui Nui Polynesian Grill for dessert. Both restaurants food was great and the ambiance was top notch!
There is a theatre on site as well, but by the time we finished dinner it was too late to make the final showing.
I absolutely loved this and I am excited to check out the other McMennamins properties throughout the northwest.

The hotel was portion was great, the restaurant not so much. We ate at the restaurant on site and even though we were one of about three people there it took almost 40 min to get our food. After we got our food the server asked if we would like another drink and that took over 20 min to get.

I have visited many McMenamin's properties in Oregon and Washington but this was my first time staying at one and I loved it! The room was so spacious and comfortable! The property is beautiful and there's so much to do all in one spot. No need to go elsewhere. I'll be returning for sure!

Fun place to stay. Always appreciate the McMenamin's projects, and the Anderson School is no exception. Beautiful property with lots to do. Wish the rooms had coffee in them, but otherwise it was a great stay!

Always a pleasure!
We love staying here. The highlights are the friendly staff and the neatly-curated historical rooms. There's something for everyone on the grounds as well. The saltwater pool is a must-go! Our cups were a little dusty and the rooms are starting to show a little wear and tear since they first opened, but we'll be back regardless!

My room was great, high ceilings, super comfy bed with yummy sheets, the tavern restaurant was great for breakfast and the tiki place across the lot was fabulous. Every staff member I dealt with was accommodating and friendly!

Put your keys away and enjoy
Entire grounds and atmosphere is fun and comfortable. Whether you want activity or solitude there is a place for you. Quirky artwork everywhere you turn. Rooms large, spotless, comfortable and quiet (even AC). Food is a tad overpriced and beer is just ok but the drinks and variety of places to enjoy them (both indoor and outdoor) are really good. No need to go anywhere else after you check in. They have everything right on location. Love all the McMenamins properties.

The Anderson School is the perfect getaway. A large enough property that you may not even notice there are other people staying at the hotel. But small enough that all 3 restaurants are within a few steps, good food and good atmosphere as always when dining at McMenamins. Rooms were very clean, large, and comfortable. Will be coming back again.
