We came here to see Bobby Collins. It was a dinner show and we did not expect the quality of the meal to be as up scaled as it was. The room was comfortable and service was great. We stayed at the hotel which was spotless. The staff at the desk was terrific . Highly recommend

The American Hotel is such a gem! We had a wonderful stay right in the heart of charming Freehold. You can walk to excellent dining and enjoy the hotel bar/restaurant as well. The staff are amazing, kind, and thoughtful. THe parking was perfect and we loved the beautiful building and privacy of this hotel. We visited with 1 child and 1 teen and they both loved the experience as well. Highly recommended!

This is an historic building that has been modernized. That means there is a central staircase that allows sound to travel to the upper floors, and little sound-proofing between rooms. However, the room was quite comfortable - we had a king bed and a couch. The bathroom shower had three showerheads! One on the ceiling and one each on opposite walls - nice when showering alone or together ;) There is free parking in the back, and we were able to walk to a restaurant on the block for dinner, and then to a different one for brunch. We would definitely stay here again if we needed to stay in the area.
