My wife and I will be in Switzerland for a few days. We are looking for lodging/B&B ideas. We will be in Zurich the first night and head to Berne and onto Brig during the next day by train. For Zurich, we are looking for a cheap/clean place with easy access to the airport/train station. Also, we are wondering of any good B&B's in Brig? Thanks
Cheap, clean, central in Zurich is very difficult to find. However, we found the Pension Josef worked well for us. It was clean, within walking distance to the main train station and it was as cheap as can be expected in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

I always found it beneficial to stop at the Tourist Information Office in the RR station in every Swiss town. The agents know the location of rooms and the rental rate; they will help you find exactly what you want and even phone to reserve the room for you.
