    Did not know we would be in the "basement" level. The noise level of what I assume to be wheeled garbage carts/ plastic totes of some sort along with the loud talking of those pushing said wheeled apparatus on the sidewalk directly outside our ground-level window up til 11 pm then again starting at 6 am was very irritating. The outdoor wait staff service at the Woodshop was pretty slow in getting us our drinks. Food came at a decent pace. But then we had to track them down to pay our tab. We simply wanted to move inside to play pool but waited over 30 minutes before finally going to look for anyone that would help us close out our bill. NO clue where our waiter disappeared to. Indoor service seemed to be more self service, go up to the bar and order yourself and pay as you go.

    The restaurants/bars on the property had decent drinks and food. Comfortable bed. Decent room. Just not crazy about being on the sub floor level 1. If I stay there again will be sure to request 2nd or 3rd floor.

    A solid choice when staying in the Bothell area.

    The air conditioning in our room did not seem to work well. We ate at the Tavern and the food was only ok. When sitting outside on a nice day, there is utter confusion about what restaurant you are attending. This means your menu, the drink options (even the McMenamins beer options) and servers are different. This resulted in overall poor service.

    We like staying at the Anderson School because we can park the car and relax on-site. The hotel is quiet and the rooms are spacious. Check in and check out was easy.

    The hotel maintained the vibe and character of old Bothell and improved on it with beautiful gardens and landscaping. An oasis among ugly new high rises.

    Lunch was good but very expensive.

    The staff was absolutely amazing. We had asked for a first floor room near the outside door for our elderly dog and when we checked in, although we did get what we asked for, there were stairs in the room and more stairs to get outside. Once we explained our dog couldn't navigate stairs, they promptly switched us to a room that involved no stairs. I know they were pretty full that night, and really appreciated their willingness to accommodate our needs.

    The pool was a little chilly being open air in the winter.

    Fun to explore and hang out “on campus” but also close to downtown Bothell and the park to explore.
