McMenamins Anderson School made our day perfect by hosting an excellent welcome party. They were incredibly easy to work with, and our guests appreciated the convenient location of the hotel. Their service and accommodations set the perfect tone for our wedding celebrations, ensuring our out-of-town guests felt comfortable and welcomed.

Spent a weekend at McMenamins for a birthday. I felt like it was well priced and as always, had a fun atmosphere! I would go back.
My only critique is that the majority of the staff seemed discontent. The bartenders at the Tavern and the Principals office seemed super flustered and angry, although I felt like the anger wasn't personal, just seemed like everyone was having a bad day.
Night audit on 10/18 was super cheerful and helpful though! He helped me update a room service order error after he had already collected them. Very much appreciated him.

My family had an amazing 6-day stay at the Anderson School. We were looking for a unique hotel that would serve as a base camp for our Seattle adventures, and McNennamin's Bothell campus was perfect. It is a pretty quick commute to Seattle while also being comfortably out of the bustle of the city.
The downtown Bothell location provides access to several great dining options, but there are also a handful of wonderful restaurants/pubs on site. We loved Nui Nui, The Woodshop, and the Tavern - excellent food and beverage menus, delicious brews and cocktails, and very friendly and accommodating staff. We loved the heated indoor pool, the gardens and courtyards, and the various outdoor spots to sit around a firepit with our drinks. The hotel and grounds are covered with cool art and interesting local history.
My wife, kids (17 and 10 years old), and I all really enjoyed our stay. We plan to return, and the experience definitely has us ready to check out other McNennamin's properties!
Rooms: Rooms are spacious and comfortable. If I had any knock, I'd say the mattresses were not the most luxurious I've ever used.
Safety: We felt totally safe in the hotel and the general area and met many friendly locals.

The Wood Shop has great outdoor seating with fire pits and patio heaters. This is one of my favorite spots throughout McMenamin's. Josh was an excellent server during a recent visit. He kept the fire burning hot and was very attentive. We had just walked over from Nui Nui (and didn't have too great of an experience there), but Josh made it all better!

The place is just Ok. Could be kind if cool but most of the employees are flat out rude especially the waitresses and bar tenders. Stayed here for a work event and had several discussions about the service. They were snippy, and placing food and drink orders seemed to frustrate them.

I had such a wonderful experience at the McMenamins Anderson School! It is such a beautiful and unique hotel, and I cannot wait to stay here again. The atmosphere is amazing, from the constant fire pits in the courtyards, to the delicious food and beer in the attached restaurants and bars. I also loved the market as well! I admirably spent far too much in there. Thank you so much McMenamins!

We stayed here during a company onsite meeting. This is a FANTASTIC and very interesting one of a kind hotel converted from a school, so it has all the quintessential layouts and decorations of a high school back in the 1930s. You can get some brochures from the front desk to learn more its history. It said classes were held in the building as late as until 2009!
The room itself has high ceiling/windows, feels spacious and has a good vibe of being nostalgic with modern day convenience. Rooms are named after notable figures in the community and decorated with original art and portraits. They have multiple breweries and restaurants on the spot.
The service was great and you feel warm welcome by the staff here. They also set up a coffee stand in front of the old Principal’s office lol. A very nice touch!

Another great property from McMenamin's. I chose the Anderson School because I knew it would be an antidote to a traditional corporate hotel. I was not disappointed. This hotel has a few dining and drinking establishments - sadly, with too few vegan and vegetarian options - but I particularly enjoyed Nui Nui, the tiki bar overlooking the swimming pool. The bed in our room was super comfortable and the room was nice and quiet.

We chose McMenamins for our wedding block, welcome event, and goodbye brunch and we are SO glad we did. Our guests really enjoyed the quirkiness, variety, spaciousness, and dining options at McMenamins. The hallways are filled with funky lanterns, rich information about Seattle/Bothell history, and historical illustrations. The rooms were clean, and came with amenities and toiletries. The event coordinator Jennifer and catering staff for our events were excellent. They made sure everything was set up exactly as we wanted, and had plentiful menus to choose from. The food was delicious (people LOVED the terminator meatballs), the bar was easily accessible, and they were able to adjust for headcount flexibly as well as upgrade our drinks on the day of. We can't wait to visit again!
