Grateful for the reliably been clean, affordable, and conveniently located American Inn!
Pros:

We often travel 6 hours from NW Maine to visit family in Branford. We have stayed at the American Inn several times. It has reliably been clean, affordable, and conveniently located. The family that runs it has always treated us well. Thank You for this great home away from home.

I had a good shower and slept in a comfortable bed
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.There was high pressure in the shower

Cons:

There was no coffee maker in the room.The morning staff wasn't very friendly.There was a very strong perfume smell in the room which triggered an allergic reaction. We asked for there to be no carpet in the room and were told there wouldn't be but the room was carpeted
