Please arrive at the Thayer Hotel around 1200 hours on Saturday. Parking is located across the street from the hotel (follow the signs) or you may take advantage of valet parking.
Non-military visitors have been registered with the base, and anyone over 18 will need to show the ID you gave us to get onto the base (but not into the Thayer, the hotel is not directly on the base).
If you are driving in on Saturday morning, please allow that there may be delays at the gate, as this is an operational military base and a university. You will need to show driver’s ID at the first gate, and ID for all passengers over 18 at the second gate (if you are driving to the Chapel)
We have arranged transportation for our guests from the Thayer to the Chapel and back. The buses will leave the Thayer at 1230.
Parking at the Chapel is extremely limited, so we are saving those places for our guests and family with limited mobility. If you are unable to use the arranged transportation, please be sure to show the IDs you registered with us for all passengers over 18 years old.
While we have provided your license/passport information to West Point in order to secure your access to the base, we encourage you to have that information on your person while on the base, just in case.
