Nice place to stay
Pleasantly surprised. American Inn is run by a family concerned about your comfort. The motel is well kept, both inside and outside. Although the motel is older, the owners keep the establishment very clean. The beds were very comfortable. There is a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The price is reasonable and i think youll be happy with your stay.

Clean and conveniently located; but the most basic of accommodations. I would not have stayed more than one night, but it was entirely adequate for a one night, passing through kind of stay.

Beds were good, room was clean, AC, refrigerator and microwave worked. The close proximity to a grocery store reduced high eating out costs. The bathroom sink was a little slow draining, but that is minor. Overall, its a place I will stay at again.

Booked this hotel as it was near the venue for my eldest son's wedding. Raj (at Reception) booked us into our rooms and was very helpful in answering any queries (a theme that he continued throughout our stay). The room was air conditioned (oh joy of joys!) and had a huge bed. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Although the location is next to a busy road, I'll be honest, I didn't hear anything during the night. Near the hotel are facilities - shop, Dunkin Donuts (50 yards down the road) and a Diner. 15 min Uber ride into Branford. Thanks Raj I will definitely return to the American Inn. 👏👏👏

Exterior of Motel was in good repair and toilet in room was a recent update, but the rest of the room could use some TLC and there were stains on the bath mat. Lots of cigarette butts lying around on the sidewalks.

Easy parking and access to highways. Manager would not honor cancellation for a third party booking. Insurance was not with Expedia but with AIG demanding proof of payment and personal information.. I will never book any trip or stay with Expedia again.
