Hotel was great. However, I paid for the parking by accident using QR code in the lot. The parking was included in the price. they would not reimburse me for what I spent. $13

The American Hotel in Freehold, NJ, is more than just a place to stay—it’s a living piece of American history beautifully restored for the modern traveler. Originally built in 1824, the hotel has long stood as a central fixture in the heart of downtown Freehold. Its most notable claim to fame is that President Abraham Lincoln stayed here in 1861 while en route to Washington, D.C., making it a site of real historic significance. In 2005—the hotel was given new life thanks to a meticulous and thoughtful $3.5 million renovation. The result is a seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort. From the elegant moldings and classic architecture to the updated guest rooms with modern amenities, every corner of the American Hotel reflects respect for its storied past while catering to today’s expectations. The guest rooms are spacious and beautiful decorated. It also has a stylish on-site restaurant, The Standard, which offers upscale American cuisine in a warm and inviting setting. The hotel also includes spacious banquet rooms ideal for weddings, galas, and community events, making it a centerpiece of Freehold’s downtown life once again.

They charged me a $27 fee for “amenities” such as a “free” welcome drink, parking (which is free on weekdays anyways, WiFi, and a coffee maker (I don’t drink coffee. So I paid $27 to get a “free” drink. That sucks.

Beautiful hotel! Small, charming, clean, and beautiful. Can't say enough good things about it! Great location on Main Street in Freehold, NJ. Within walking distance to so many restaurants/shops. The hotel also has a great bar/restaurant, The Standard, that has a great menu with delicious good. The staff is friendly and the hotel itself is exceptionally clean. Beautiful, super spacious rooms. Comfortable beds. My ONLY complaint would be the lack of outlets in the room. Other than that, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!

It was a really sweet hotel, great location and the staff went above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

The walls and ceilings are paper thin, you can hear everything and I mean everything!
