    The historic Thayer Hotel is attached to West Point. Adults must have a state ID to enter

    Haven't been to the FAMOUS landmark of Hotel Thayer in greater than twenty years. Have to say, it has not changed. And, this is certainly a compliment. We were a party of four for Sunday Brunch and we're treated so well. Service was with a smile by someone with my namesake "Cat". She was attentive to our plates and drinks on point for refills or extras that we requested (milk, sugar) The Sunday Brunch was overwhelmingly delicious as we couldn't go beyond one plate. Barely having room for dessert, we managed to share plates of berries and cheesecake. We ate no more meals until the next day! 4 stars only because: wi-fi not too accessible. One needs to go up to the front desk. The worker will "secretly" put the password into your phone - not liking this! Parking is a little scarce and tight. One must be there well before your reservation time for this reason Will be back again in the near future!

    I was here for a corporate training and to be fair to the hotel I am not a fan of old fashioned, classic decor which is for many part of this hotels charm so maybe that colored my review a tad as overall it was very nice. The location is beautiful- just inside the gates of West Point and overlooking the Hudson which provided stunning views particularly from the meeting space. Check in was quick and easy and the room was very large - each one dedicated to a Military person who made a big impact. The decor is very minimal - a bed, chest of drawers on which a TV was precariously balanced. a tiny side table with a. Coffee machine, chair and a desk. I really wish there was a fridge as I arrived late with a bunch of water but I think there is ice nearby. The lights are on a energy saving system which is great but for the fact it can be finicky trying to turn them on and off. The shower was a pain - it ran cold one day and way too hot the next to the point I could not get it to cool down but it was a nice big bright space. The AC is needed but sounds like a freight train so you have to make a decision about being cool or being kept awake The breakfast buffet that was available to call guests is not worth it ! There is bacon, eggs and potatoes which is not for me , fresh fruit and pastries but they or at least the croissants were like hockey pucks and I made the mistake of getting oatmeal and putting what I assumed was cinnamon on it but it was something else that had a strong curry scent - maybe allspice? But the rest of the food was really rather good! It's nice but not one I would book again as it's not personally my style but everyone there was very nice. If you are staying there - rent a car if flying in as a cab will set you back over $400

    We came to a wedding here and the venue is beautiful. The view of the Hudson River is amazing and the room was simply decorated but very nice. We had a great time at the wedding with lots of food, drinks, and dancing! The best part was the dancing :) and the music was fantastic. My expectation coming to this historic hotel was excellency. Because the rooms are so expensive (even a block room for the wedding), I expected really good food. Let's take it by course shall we..... Appetizers were good and they had a fresh seafood bar which was great. We really enjoyed the shrimp and the oysters. They had crab meat still on the claws which was a cool display but they were soggy and just not good. You know when you bite into seafood and it feels spongy...like that. They had little appetizers at each table and the best ones were the spicy empanadillas. They were nice and flavorful. Although we were excited about the variety of food offered at the buffet table, we were disappointed because it was bland and not very hot. We were really excited about the filet mignon, but it was overcooked. I think what we liked best was the sausage (lots of flavor) and the salad (it was lightly dressed). I was talking to some friends about my experience and they said that they heard a lot of the same complaints from other people who have attended weddings there. I guess if you go to the restaurant, then it's better but with so many great places to eat in the Hudson Valley, I don't want to use my hard-earned money to find out. Now about the open bar - I ordered coconut daiquiris. I'm on a coconut daiquiri kick since I had some really delicious ones at the Icehouse in Poughkeepsie and in Puerto Rico. At first, they didn't know how to make them which I can understand, I guess but it's a daiquiri....just sayin'. What I don't understand is why you would scoop a spoonful of granulated white sugar at the bottom of the glass instead of using simple syrup. Very confusing. My drink was good enough to have a second one but the sugar....weird. The dessert table was great. The wedding cake was delicious and I'm pretty picky about cheesecake but this one was good. I also had a little eclair which was good. They had a marshmallow bar which I had never seen before but people seemed to love it. I didn't try it because I was digging the cheesecake. All in all we had a wonderful time -- I attribute it to the company and the dancing mostly.

    Historic military hotel, located on base at West Point Military Academy. The Thayer was built in 1926, and maintains many of its original details. The lobby is beautiful, save for the awful LED TV's mounted on the walls. This is a 3 star hotel, with over 100 guest rooms, and several suites. On site is MacArthur's Riverview Restaurant (pub style food) and Zulu Time, a rooftop bar and lounge. My husband and I stayed one night in a King Deluxe room, priced at $326/night with tax. Each room is themed, dedicated to a US veteran. We stayed in the Peter Dawkins room, which was clean and nicely appointed. The Hudson River view was slightly obstructed, but still beautiful. Amenities included a Keurig coffee maker, a TV (not a smart TV), and quality toiletries. All of the employees I encountered at The Thayer were genuinely friendly and polite. That being said, service is limited. We ordered food via delivery, and they could not bring it up to our room or give us silverware. There were no water bottles in the room. They do not offer room service. They also do not accept American Express, but fortunately the room deposit was only $45/night. The Thayer is not luxurious, but it is comfortable, and likely your best bet at West Point. I do really hope they take down those TV's in the lobby though.

    Beautiful location and I'm hoping when we went it was a fluke but we had no water in the morning which set us back about two hours. The food is great!. The people are lovely

    Valet parking available, otherwise self-parking on site was easy. There is a small hill/driveway to walk up once you park. There's two seatings. Big buffet of omelette station, ham station, waffle station with ice cream and sprinkles. Dessert table (very messy) with fruit. Cold salads, shrimp cocktail, cheeses, danish, mini donuts yay, and bagels. Chicken with mushrooms. Salmon. Penne alla vodka. Sausage and hash browns, scrambled eggs, the powdered kind pass. Few others I can't remember. Mimosa's included. The hostess was super helpful as we didn't have reservations and she said we could wait for a possible no show. It worked out. Sandy one of our servers, was very pleasant and attentive. The other couldn't wait to leave, eye roll. Of course the scenery in the fall was a bonus. Overall the hotel seems to be in good shape, well maintained. Sofas and chairs in good condition. Could use some touch up paint near the bathrooms. We were disappointed to find there wasn't a bar area to possibly eat and the rooftop was closed. You would think with all the people that come through they would want to capture that business. Have fun.

    Door knob sign. Makes you smile!

    How amazing this Historical Landmark! I was impressed by the numerous photos and plaques formally displayed, on floors 2-4, of important political and military people that either stayed there or attended West Point Academy; the grounds which the hotel is located. This place is full of history and is quite grand in reception. I warn you though, 6am and the cadets will be out there doing their work-outs. If your room window is open- you will hear them! After all, it's on a military location...

    Beautiful hotel located inside the gates of West Point Military Academy. They have a couple restaurants and rooftop bar if you're wanting to just stay close and chill. Service was good and the hotel is very well maintained. I was blessed with the opportunity to stay there at no charge because our son got invited to take a tour there, so the Academy took care of all the reservations and fees. I believe the hotel can fill up pretty fast especially if there a special events so if you're interested I would advise to call and book ahead of time just to be safe.

The room itself is quite spacious, more than enough for two people, and it has all the amenities you would expect including a large comfortable bed, a TV, water heater, and supplies to make tea. Every morning, we were offered breakfast which was served in a ornately decorated dining room and consisted of a tasty fruit salad as well as freshly baked croissants, scrambled eggs, fresh orange juice, and coffee.

Throughout our stay we were well taken care of by Lynn. She was always available if we needed help and offered tips about what to see and do in Beacon.
