    The newly renovated American Hotel brings back the old world charm and ambiance of Freehold's long standing social centerpiece. Originally built in 1824 as a stagecoach stop, the hotel grew as did the needs of Monmouth County. But, after 180 years of making memories, the facilities were in need of a total make-over. New owner Steve Goldberg, stepped up to the plate by completing a full renovation, creating a New York style Boutique Hotel with restaurant and Banquet facilities which were described in the Asbury Park Press as a "masterpiece" and brought a new life and vibrancy to downtown Freehold.Located in the heart of Freehold, N.J., Monmouth County's government seat, the American Hotel provides travelers and guests a charming stay in a vibrant community.Our 20 hotel rooms, including deluxe and business suites provide all the modern conveniences and an attentive staff available for your personal needs. Our 3 Banquet Halls are ideal for your special Banquet or Party needs.

    My first time at the Hotel since its renovation. I thought it would be a good place for a casual business lunch and it didn't disappoint. Admittedly it was a quiet day, but the hostess / server were very attentive and the food was great. I had the chicken and waffles and it was just the right amount and tasted really good. I would definitely recommend you give it a try

    The crab dip tasted like it had very little crab The salad with 4 large shrimp for 30 dollars was overpriced. The burger and fries were so salty to me it was not edible. I did bring it home for another family member to try and he felt it was good if youā€™re not sensitive to a very high salt content
