USMA Class of 2028

"Staying at The Thayer has been worth every penny in the last seven years as the service is excellent and the hotel continuously improves. 
The Thayer has been our hub and home away from home for football games, Graduation, Sandhurst, Ring Weekend, and other Academy events. 
Our son graduated in 2016, and our experience at the hotel was so incredible that we of course booked Graduation before R-Day for our
second son who is graduating this spring. We love The Thayer!"​
-Shannon Hill, Sons are Class of 2016 & 2020
