Great vibes, but service needs a boost

We really enjoyed our time at this place! The pool was awesome, and the beer 101 package was a sweet deal, even if IPAs aren't my thing. The staff was mostly cool, but the bar service took forever our first night, and the food was cold. We ended up eating in our room, not ideal. Overall fun stay though!

Enjoyed the quirky atmosphere and the themed rooms, especially since the staff was super helpful. The dining options offered good food but were a bit pricey, and the parking situation is a little chaotic. Would love to visit again for the unique experience!

Mcmenamins Anderson School offers a cozy and charming experience with its unique historical vibe. I loved the warm saltwater pool, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The multiple on-site dining options made it easy to grab a meal and enjoy great craft beers.

Dinner wait times can be long during peak hours.

Had a fantastic experience at McMenamins Anderson School. The atmosphere felt incredibly unique, reflecting its history as a former school. My room had charming decor and a cozy vibe. Loved the outdoor seating with fire pits, perfect for evening relaxation. The saltwater pool was a highlight, making for a great family-friendly spot. However, some staff interactions felt a bit off. Noticed a lack of friendliness from a couple of employees. Dining was good, but the service was on the slower side. Morning coffee service was limited, forcing me to venture floors up for a refill, which was a bit annoying. Overall, enjoyed my stay, but the staffing inconsistency needs some attention.

Family with children a great getaway

We loved hanging out by the warm salt water pool. It was a real hit with the kiddo, and to top it off, breakfast was served right on time unlike some other places I've been. Plus, I reveled in the unique ambiance of the tiki bar while the kiddo splashed around.

It wasn't exactly pocket change, but considering the fun we had, it was still acceptable.

I loved the unique atmosphere, especially the historical vibe and the cozy fireplaces. The warm saltwater pool was a total win!

Enjoyed the warm, spacious room and free parking. bar service was slow and food cold.

would book again

The standard king room had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with free toiletries. Loved the indoor swimming pool. it’s warm and so relaxing. We also enjoyed the on-site dining, especially the tiki bar with tropical cocktails and the whiskey tasting at the Shed. Perfect for unwinding after a busy day.

Had an awesome time with my friends! We spent a night here and loved exploring the historic vibe. We checked out a local theater and a beautiful park while enjoying drinks by the fireplace. The service was friendly, and the amenities, including multiple dining options, made it easy to hang out. Perfect spot for a group getaway!

The only downside was the dim lighting in the dining area, which made it hard to see the menu clearly.

unique, unique, unique

The Standard King Room was really cozy with its unique decor. The historical vibe was cool, making the stay feel special. The bed was comfortable and the room had a nice layout. However, the bathroom could've used a little upgrade and it felt slightly cramped. Overall, a good space to relax after a busy day.

I loved the charming historical decor throughout the property and the lovely outdoor areas, which felt very welcoming and accessible. The warm saltwater pool was delightful for relaxation after our explorations. It was ideal for a senior like me.

More accessible seating options in dining areas.

great walks and parks nearby for leisurely city vibes

We really enjoyed our stay because we were just a few steps away from beautiful Rhododendron Park, perfect for a morning stroll, and the unique decor in the spacious king room made it a lovely retreat after a day out.

The warm saltwater pool was a delightful feature, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The availability of multiple restaurants on site, including late-night options, added to the convenience of my stay.

One dining experience was delayed and the food served was lukewarm.
