What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 201 guest reviews
McMenamins Anderson School earns strong enthusiasm for its one-of-a-kind converted schoolhouse atmosphere, art-filled decor, and the convenience of having restaurants, a pool, bars, and a movie theater all on-site — with staff widely praised for friendliness. However, recurring gripes include poor accessibility due to stairs, pockets of dim and dated aesthetics, inconsistent food and slow restaurant service, and prices that several guests flagged as high. It is an overwhelmingly well-loved stay for those who value character and self-contained entertainment, but guests with mobility needs or high culinary expectations should temper expectations.
