    We were a little pressed for time but thought this would be a fun unique place to grab lunch. It was fun and unique but there was no lunch. We arrived at 1:15 and they post that they close at 2:30 but they had run out of food. The server didn't seem too concerned about it though. She was friendly while telling me that they didn't want to bake anything since they were closing soon. I'll probably give it another try because it's just a quirky place. But not when I'm very hungry. Or I'll just bring my own food just in case.

    Found this neat stop just off of the interstate on our way up I-17 to Sedona while looking for a bite to eat. Limited food options but found something we liked, that was healthy, locally grown greens. The building that houses the small cafe also has a museum & exhibits, along with some things for sale. There are great views of the property from w/in the building. Although it's not a hotel, as I understand it, there are a handful of overnight rooms you can rent. It might be worth a stay.

    Wasn't able to try the cafe since they close at 2 but the gallery was open so it was nice to check it out. the place is run down bathrooms were pretty gross. Dead bugs all around and stained toilets quite gross. Not much to do here except just see the gallery which is really small. No one was friendly. We weren't greeted by any of the staff. This place is in the middle of nowhere so to speak. It was hot, so run down, and poorly maintained. It was "mehh" the building was cool to look at but that's it not really worth it

    My favorite place ever, went on a college trip here for a week and had so much fun. Very refreshing to get away from the city and be somewhere so natural. Definitely want to visit again :)

    Artistic displays abound in the cafe

    Convenient farm to table style cafe in the heart of Arcosanti. The food selection was minimal, but the flavor and freshness of the dish we ordered made up for it. A great place to end or begin your arcology adventure.

    The casino is neat, clean, and attractive. The employee encounters ranged from friendly to…read moreuninterested. The newer slots function very well. However, the older slots are sadly in disrepair. The lights indicating how much you can bet do not light up and it's hard to determine what the minimum and maximum bets are. The screens are dark and some have lines through them. It's as if they don't care about the older machines and they are just filling space until they can replace them with newer slot games. One slot machine where I sat was very confusing and was not functioning properly. I called an attendant over who called a second attendant that pushed a few buttons and shook the machine, then said, it's working now. They never said that they would have someone work on the machine. In my opinion, that machine should have been shut down for service. The players club card readers on the machines do not work well. Your card has to be inserted several times before it is read. At one point I went to the Players Club desk and got a new card thinking it was my card, but it was my card, but no it was the reader. With all that said, I did enjoy my visit at Cliff Castle Casino, although it was more work than I had anticipated. Between calling attendents, getting a new card, fighting with the card readers and making sure I played long enough to accumulate enough points for the free $10 play, it was a lot of work. Once you accumulated enough points you then had to go to the Players Club and give them $20 and they would load $30 on your card.. just not worth the time and trouble. I would go again if I had time to jump through all the hoops. Otherwise, I would move along to another casino either in Flagstaff or Phoenix. Okay how would you write your exper

There was an odor in the room, and the bathroom had clearly not been cleaned before we checked in. There was long dark hair strewn on the shower walls, hair all over the bathroom floor as well as dirt and other spots and stains. We reported it and asked to have the room cleaned-no luck. We asked to be moved to another room-no luck. We were simply told they would take note of it. The following day we asked to speak to a supervisor and guess what-there was no note of our complaint. They said there was nothing they could do and would notify the manager on duty and we would be contacted. We heard nothing from the hotel. This is not how I would run and business and I certainly won't give them my business again.

    I walked into Fred Harvey expecting the usual sad hotel buffet vibes--lukewarm mystery meats and…read moreregret--but instead, I got pleasantly schooled. This place is surprisingly decent, and in buffet land, that's basically a Michelin star. Breakfast? Solid. Dinner? Also solid. They're pulling double duty like a champ without breaking a sweat. The bread is fresh-baked and dangerously addictive (I may have committed carb crimes). The pasta station had me twirling happiness, and the omelette station was flipping out perfect custom creations without judgment. But let's be real: the true MVP was the soft serve. That creamy, dreamy swirl machine had me acting unwise. I went back for thirds and zero shame. Shoutout to the staff--they're genuinely nice and accommodating, like they actually enjoy their jobs. Rare as a perfectly cooked buffet egg. Whether you're fueling up before a day of whatever you do in this area or winding down with dinner, Fred Harvey delivers without the usual side of disappointment. Pro tip: Leave room for the soft serve. Trust me. I'm basically a professional now. Would return. Might marry the soft serve machine. 1 Star - Fred Harvey Gift Shop: Where the Souvenirs Are Fine, But the Racism Is Vintage I came for some overpriced keychains and maybe a magnet to remember my surprisingly decent meal at the attached Fred Harvey restaurant. What I got instead was a masterclass in selective hospitality from an old white-haired lady behind the counter who clearly moonlights as the neighborhood gatekeeper. First incident: Restaurant's closing, gift shop too. My son lags a few steps behind (you know, kid stuff), so we're casually browsing while waiting. Out comes the yell: "We're closed!" I politely explain we're just waiting for him. "You need to get out." Cool, cool. Right then, a white lady and her daughter stroll up. Same situation--waiting for hubby. Suddenly it's all "Oh ok dear, no problem! Take your time!" The contrast was so stark I nearly got whiplash. Round two, breakfast the next day. We actually wanted to buy stuff this time. Walk straight from the restaurant (it's connected!) into the shop. Another white lady enters from outside. "Darling, we're closed." She says she'll just grab a couple things--boom, "Ok that's fine!" Then my son swings around the corner and it's instant yelling: "WE ARE CLOSED! You can't buy anything!!" I jump in: "We came from the restaurant, we were already in here." Her response? A legendary "SO!" My white friend (who could pass for Latin) had to step in and point out the obvious double standard before she grudgingly let us shop. At that point? Zero desire to give her a single dollar. I wanted to vault the counter and test if that hair was a wig, but I'm a lady who respects her elders--even when they don't respect basic decency. For context: My kids are half Black, half Spanish. Beautiful, polite, and just trying to buy some tourist junk like everyone else. The racism was so blatant it ruined what should've been a harmless five-minute transaction. The shop itself? Meh souvenirs. The experience? 1 star and a lifetime of side-eye. Racism is alive and well in the gift shop, folks. Skip it unless you enjoy vintage prejudice with your postcards. Would not return. Might mail the manager a mirror instead. I would be giving the restaurant a 5 star review for the amazing service and pretty impressive buffet experience, but the gift shop ruined that guys. For a town that gets 100% of its income from tourists, it's crazy that being ethnic will get you treated like this.. please address this.

    Do yourself a favor and avoid this buffet. This was, without…read morea doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The food quality was completely unacceptable. Most of the "hot" items were cold, tasted like they had been sitting out far too long, and seemed anything but fresh. The carving station was the worst part. The meat I was served was severely undercooked -- to the point it was inedible. I actually had to placed it on a napkin, and the waitress took it back to show her manager because of how bad it was. That alone should tell you everything. The service didn't improve the situation either. The check-in process was disorganized and unwelcoming, and overall the experience just felt poorly managed from start to finish. For the price you pay, this place is absolutely not worth it. There are far better options out there. I would not return and definitely would not recommend it to anyone. We paid 72.00 for this buffet which wasn't posted anywhere when you walk up or I would have not eaten here !
