Fodor's Expert Review Anderson School Hotel

A giant indoor pool is a rarity in the Pacific Northwest, making this spot in demand for that reason alone, but the proximity to Woodinville's wine country and location in the sweet lakeside suburb of Bothell are almost as compelling. Like all of the properties from quirky hospitality group McMenamins, the unique art (each room has a name, biography, and custom headboard) and fun story behind the property are part of the draw. However, the sometimes overzealous branding also means the signage is sparse and confusing, so you have to wander to find the brewery, movie theater, and that famous pool.
