Fodor's Expert Review McMenamins Anderson School

An imaginatively converted 1930s art deco school houses this bustling member of the offbeat McMenamins hotel and pub empire just 3 miles west of Woodinville, offering colorful guest rooms, a tropically inspired indoor pool, a movie theater, and an extensive selection of dining and drinking options. This colorful hotel may not suit every taste, but it's a refreshing alternative to the area's many bland chain hotels.
