Fodor's Expert Review Thayer Hotel
674 Thayer Rd., West Point, New York, 10996, USA
Ethereal Hudson River views ennoble this imposing brick-and-granite hotel on the grounds of West Point. (You pass through two security checkpoints on your way to the hotel.) Sleek marble floors, iron chandeliers, and portraits of military leaders bedeck the main lobby; dark, regal furnishings and prints of river scenes adorn guest rooms. Request an odd-numbered room for river vistas or an even-numbered room for views of the academy. The restaurant lures crowds to its Sunday champagne brunch buffet ($34.95 prix fixe). In summer, angle for a table on the outdoor terrace.
PROS
- chance to stay at West Point
- beautiful river views
CONS
- a bit outdated, some might say musty
