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. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a weekend traveler, or someone looking to host a memorable event in a one-of-a-kind venue, The American Hotel delivers a truly unique experience. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to connect with the past while enjoying the best of the present.

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.

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!
