The hotel is very charming and quaint, located in the middle of Main Street Freehold.... A really good location without bars and Resturants. The hotel lobby is comfotable and charming, the rooms are newly renovated with very comfortable beds and linens. Complimentary soaps and lotions as well in the room. I will certainly stay here again.

The only High end Steak like house in Town. Music for Adults is great too. Terrific service and atmosphere. Great for couples and for a date . Expect to pay ...pricey. We both had steak and loved it. We have also gone to the bar only and it is also fun for adults over 35....not a kids place.

The Sunday Brunch at the American Hotel was great. They have a wide variety of food items to choose from. The omelet station was the most popular one. The servers are always on hand to take away your dirty plates. They would even fold up your linen napkins while you are at the buffet to fill up.

This hotel has always been a great spot until recently. We made a reservation for a Sweet 16 party and all i can say is = never again. The attitude was deplorable from the Front Desk on down. Who is running this joint?

I recently had my wedding here. Jim the maitr'd (sp?) was phenominal. Everyone raved about the cocktail hour. Warning that the filet mignon meal was overcooked. Would suggest another meat OR make sure you address this beforehand. I wouldn't recommend sleeping at the hotel though on a Saturday night. I stayed the night before my wedding and the bridal suite... More

My husband and I stayed at the hotel on a Saturday night for a wedding. The rooms are very nice...they are modern and very clean. The location is great--right in the middle of downtown Freehold, NJ. The hotel is small and has thin walls (I am assuming because it is an older hotel). The hotel was very crowded when we... More

I recently stayed at The American Hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I didn't expect much due to the price of the hotel, but I was so happy to see that our room was immaculate and the bathroom was very nice too. I loved the decor of the room. It was so nice to have the extra special... More

This is an Old hotel -old as in Abraham Lincoln stayed here in 1861. It has been refurbished and is in pretty good shape. Right on theron drag in Freehold so ask for a room in the back of the hotel to reduce noise. On site restaurant was busy but didn't eat here. Continental breakfast in the morning was smal... More

In the Freehold area you will do yourself a disservive if you do not stay here. It is newly redone. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable. The hotel itself is located in the center of town. The hotel bars are a hub of friendly activity, and tastefully appointed. The management will do everything in its... More
