We went here for a friend's birthday. We loved the diversity of options, with automatic belays, numerous self-belays for those who are qualified, and a spread of bouldering options. The walls and routes definitely vary in difficulty.

I love my limited edition Cliffs tank top.
Tamara L.

I have been climbing at The Cliffs at Valhalla since they opened a few years ago (and for many years before that. As an experienced climber, I am super picky, and do have some suggestions for improvement. However, if The Cliffs were to shut down tomorrow, I would probably lose my mind. Hence the 5 stars. Here's what's great. It's a climbing gym. That's not a given if you live in Westchester and not, say, Boulder CO. It's well designed and big, with plenty of altitude for a decent top rope or lead climb, and has three auto belays and lots of bouldering for when your partner is off coaching soccer for 10 year olds. It's got the logistics down. They have an easy to navigate website, which they keep up to date with events and announcements. Everything -- waivers, memberships, charges -- is done online. The staff is super friendly and helpful. So are the regulars (climbing is a friendly sport). The monthly membership fee is very reasonable and they give you a free guest pass once a month so you can introduce new potential belay slaves to the gym because your partner's soccer coaching schedule is out of control. Here's what could use improvement. The top/lead rope routes seem to be set mostly by teenage bouldering dudes with abnormal finger (and overall) strength but limited understanding of a true outdoor rope climb. My favorite climbs are thoughtful and precise, with delicate footwork and interesting moves. Also, there should be some variations in difficulty of moves -- crux move, then rest, etc. There are barely any rests, unlike true outdoor climbs. There's just one routesetter right now (PJ) whose climbs meet those qualities. The rest range from ok to not worth it. The bouldering is just ok. One thing I hate is that they've removed the ratings. Every climb outside is rated, so you know what you're getting into. Why the guesswork? Or, alternatively, the running back and forth between outdated photos of the walls with ratings and the walls. So annoying. But that's just the perspective of one short and somewhat out of shape climber, who is climbing 5.10s at this time. It may be a completely different story for stronger, younger, and/or harder climbing folk. Also, best to go early on weekends to avoid the never ending stream of kids birthday parties. I am grateful that these events help keep The Cliffs in business, but the screaming, etc. ... ugh ... One time, they even roped off much of the gym to create some kind of tightrope thing for a group of kids. It was incredibly annoying. They haven't done it again, though, so maybe they realized not such a good idea. It's also amateur hour with zero policing. People walking under ropes, taking photos, doing their douchey fitness rituals etc., kids running rampant thru the space with no parents in sight, etc. It's got the climbing gym atmosphere down to a tee. Friendly, helpful staff who all seem about 16 years old. Bare minimum locker room. Ratty couches in small lounge area with tv on endless climbing video loop for non-climbers/slackers to hang out. Small workout area, with a few cardio machines, a "woody" (it's not what you think), and hang board. Energy drinks and bars and equipment and climbing clothes for sale. Everything covered in a fine layer of chalk dust.

Was visiting NY from California and stopped by this past weekend with my husband and spent two hours breaking in my new shoes. Facility is clean and well maintained. Customer service is top notch, the owner is a stand up guy and was a pleasure to talk to. Thank you for the new tanks, the girls at my home gym are super stoked when I brought back the shirts!!

Love this place! I love climbing and the staff is great - this location is easy to get to. If you go during the weekdays early... It's not too busy. Weekends here are pretty crowded though.

I must be dumb. Valhalla is clearly the best gym in new york besides brooklyn boulders. They have so much bouldering it's ridiculous. Why would I even think the roc club had more? That place sucks so bad. I've only been climbing for the summer (almost 3 months) and I'm working V5's. Everyone here is so friendly. A lot of the people that work here I've become friends with. The problems are so good that I don't even mind climbing them over and over. There's also a little section in the cave with maybe 10 bouldering problems (a little hidden gem). Kootz is the best setter ever. PJ sets good shit that he thinks are V3's and V4's but they are really V5's and V6's. Don't worry the music is good. Don't go anywhere else (besides BKB) because Valhalla is the bomb. Plus if you had a summer membership then you get one month free off a yearly membership.

I'm very new to the sport of rock climbing so I don't have anything with which to compare, but I think this is a great facility. Located just off the Bronx River Parkway between North White Plains and Pleasantville, it's quiet on Saturday and Sunday mornings and pretty busy on Weekday evenings and Weekend afternoons. I recently bought a package for the 101 and 201 classes. The package also includes a free month membership. The 101 course was great. I completed the class with a nice foundation of basic climbing knowledge and took and passed the Belay test so that my husband and I can come and climb on our own/belay each other without supervision. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The space is large and there are many walls for climbing and bouldering. It's pretty amazing to sit back and watch the folk who are seasoned climbers. People weightlessly scale the walls like they're Spiderman. And even though, as a new climber I feel a bit like an outsider looking in, the Cliffs seem to foster a true sense of community and comaraderie among its members.

Climbing the pink route, "5.9+" was much too easy; more like a 5.7.

My husband and I got married at Tappan Hill in Oct 2021, rescheduled from Oct 2020. From the very first day we toured the venue, to working with us through COVID to reschedule, to the couple months leading up to and the day of our wedding, Caitlin was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is prompt, responsive, helpful, thoughtful, SO GOOD AT HER JOB, and just amazing, period. Marleny was my bridal attendant the day of the wedding and just took care of not just me and my husband, but our families too. She was always there anticipating our next move and I genuinely don't know how she managed to be in so many places at once. I got so many compliments on not only the food (duh), but even the service that the waiters provided! I can't remember ever going to a wedding and complimenting the waiter and multiple people came up to me and told me how amazing theirs was. Long story short, don't hesitate to hire AK (lucky you if you get Caitlin :)) - they were so understanding during COVID, and they ultimately made our day just perfect through and through. I'm so thankful we chose them to work with!

Loved the variety of foods during cocktail hour, especially the sushi, which was spicy but really good. Loved the fish fillet that was served inside the venue (pictured) the venue is really nice with views of the Hudson river in both where the cocktail hour was held and the wedding itself. Bartenders in both the cocktail hour and the wedding were very good and made great Tito's with sprite and later on a Shirley temple. Great drinks Please note stars are based on opinion of my own, and not how the family feels. They should post a review themselves too if they felt it was spot on!

We appreciate your attention to every detail that created such an inviting and memorable atmosphere for our guests!

The service - well you feel like family. We did a tasting menu that the chef planned. 8 courses (plus bread service). Dessert was served in the kitchen. All courses had a beverage pairing. Menu: Beet / yogurt pairing with little hints of different flavors that surprise you in a good way Tomato soup (cold) - not like anything I have had before. The father of the chef grows the little tomatoes - maybe grape tomatoes. Not sure. The best tomato soup I have ever had - there were three small tomatoes floating in the soup. So tender (no skin). Wow! Raw yellow tail with two differed sauces that you combined it all together - super fresh fish, amazing sauces - I really can't find the words to do justice for this dish. Even my husband who doesn't eat any sushi had this. And loved it. Seas bass on fava bean sauce - likely the best seas bass I have had. I'm used to Black Sea bass off the boat in Montauk; hard to beat this and they did! Tiger prawn tempora - this was served with a cold beer. Omg. I will never have tempora without a beer again. (I generally don't drink beer.) The batter was exceptionally light, the flavor if the prawn shined. Sockeye salmon on rice - I am not explaining this properly. Wowowow Filet beef with a concentrated au ju - perfectly prepared ... so flavorful. So good. Dessert: tiramisu, two different decadent cookies small and wow. Chocolate truffle (maybe not the right word) but wow We started with champagne, had white wine, red wine, beer, and port. The wines were from Portugal and were sulfite free. And they were spectacular in their own right and perfect pairing with the food. We were here for a big bday cele - it was so special. I will never forget! And I look forward to going back. I wish there were more stars to give. Wish there were more adjectives. I am at a loss at how to explain how good this experience was. If you ever get a chance to go, run there!

I have to admit I was nervous about the reviews here beforehand, but I found our stay here to be pleasant. The beds & pillows were comfy, our room was clean, the bathroom was clean, the grounds are well kept. They had a nice restaurant downstairs, but we had reservations elsewhere, so I just got a glass of wine at the bar during downtime. We visited the arcade, walked the grounds a little, and took a peek in the ballrooms. The lay out is a little confusing, and the hallways smelled like air freshener on crack. The rooms are a bit outdated as so many have commented on, but it didn't bother us, as long as it's clean who cares, you're not moving in. The only things I was not a fan of was they tried to run my debit card for the room the night before we even checked in. At 12:00 am, 3:00 am, & 5:00 am. I called the front desk and asked why they were trying to run my card when we hadn't even checked in yet. My bank was going to continue to flag it since it's an out of state charge. And I'm 99% sure the "person" I was speaking to was AI. We got into town around 2, & were told we couldn't do early check in either, kind of annoying since we're from out of state, but whatever.

We were visiting from NYC for one night to experience Sleepy Hollow and the Twilight Village. Unfortunately, the day of our trip was a complete rainout. I could have canceled the day before, but decided to keep the reservation because the heated indoor pool seemed like the perfect way to keep my six-year-old entertained for a few hours. Since the weather made walking around impractical, I called around 1 p.m. to ask about early check-in. They said no, so I asked if we could at least use the pool while we waited. I was shocked when they refused, explaining that amenities could not be used until the 4 p.m. check-in time. I've stayed at four- and five-star resorts and have never encountered such an inflexible policy when simply trying to use an amenity while waiting for a room. We went bowling to kill time, checked in at 4 p.m., and headed straight to the pool, only to discover that the water was absolutely freezing because the heater wasn't working. My six-year-old was brave enough to get in for about a minute before giving up. The very amenity that convinced me to keep the reservation was completely unusable. The room was just as disappointing: outdated, dirty, and freezing, with the thermostat reading 67 degrees. When I called the front desk, I was told the heat had only been turned on 30 minutes earlier and the room would warm up. The refrigerator was unplugged, and there were specks of paint scattered across the floor from the closet and throughout the room, making it look as though the space hadn't been properly maintained or used in some time. We left for dinner and the Twilight Village, returning soaked and cold, only to find that the room was STILL at 67 degrees. After calling the front desk a second time, maintenance finally came up and discovered that the heating function had never been switched over. He had to manually remove the front of the AC unit to fix it. We went to bed freezing, only to wake up at 3 a.m. in a room that had reached 78 degrees. Apparently, there is no middle ground between freezing and overheating. To make matters worse, the room was incredibly noisy throughout the night. There was a dog barking next door, doors slamming, and people loudly talking in the hallways for hours. There was a wedding at the hotel, which may explain some of the noise, but it made for an absolutely miserable night. The next morning, I got us out of there as quickly as possible. The bathroom looked so gross that I didn't even want to use the shower. Between the unusable pool, the freezing room, the broken heating system, the cleanliness issues, and the noise all night, virtually nothing about this stay was acceptable. The staff's inability to provide basic amenities and a comfortable room made an already disappointing trip so much worse. **Please do yourself a favor and book somewhere else.** I genuinely cannot remember staying at a worse hotel, and I would never return.

Great time here at the Rock Club…read more Purchased a Groupon and decided to visit on a Friday morning. Called ahead and the front desk staff were very quick in getting back to me to confirm that a belayer was available at that time. They also confirmed the Groupon over the phone. I went ahead and completed the required waiver forms online prior to our visit. Adequate parking was available at that time. The Rock Club (downstairs) shares its space with a with a tennis club, so make sure you follow the ramp down toward the Rock Club entrance and NOT the stairs whih leads to the tennis club. We arrived at around 10am and it was fairly empty. The Rock Club staff explained the process and set us up with climbing shoes. We were then introduced to our belayer who was awesome. Over the next hour, we tried climbs ranging in difficulty. The wall heights range from about 35-40 feet and the peg placement and wall angles vary throughout the climbs, making some more difficult than others. We even had some time to try some bouldering. Our belayer was great at explaining techniques and technical terms. She was very patient and very encouraging...though not "pushy" at all. After we finished, the staff was nice enough to show us around to see what else was available at the facility: childrens area, common areas, training rooms and weight rooms. May go without saying...wear comfy clothes. As a regular gym-goer, but someone who has NOT climbed before, this was a welcomed challenge. Certain muscles, particularly the forearms and core, may not be part of the typical gym regimen...but are very important in climbing...that being said, I was definitely feeling it the next day. Overall we had a great experience at the Rock Club. We will deinifitely look into other classes. Kudos to all the staff members there.
