We stayed there this past weekend and our room was wonderful. It was obviously recently remodeled. Had a nice kitchenette area, a large fridge, comfortable bed and linens. The place was spotless. Right in the heart of the village and within walking distance to everything. And to boot....the price was very reasonable. Can't wait to book again this summer.

We took a brief trip to Clayton and hoped that we could get a room at Bertrand's Motel. We have stayed several times in the past and we are always greeted kindly by Bill. He is very helpful and came to our room quickly when we had a problem adjusting the TV. It may be an older motel but what we needed was a comfortable and clean room after a day of venturing around and the room filled our needs, and the shower was awesome! We parked our car and walked all around town. The Koffee Kove Restaurant is directly across the street and serves a great breakfast. The motel price is very reasonable and it is in an excellent location. We will definitely be back again!

Last minute plan to get away, was amazing service. Very reasonable, clean, comfy bed and pillows. Warm room and amazing shower! Within walking distance to several shops and restaurants. Excellent service in the morning after a snow fall during the night. Would definately go back again!
