Pros (+) Good location - everything in South Lake is in walking distance.
Cons (-) The room wasn't clean. There were stains on the carpet, walls and ceiling. The room hadn't been updated in years, which is fine if you're paying $40/night but I was charged $180/night due to a festival taking place at the time. The water in the shower went from scorching hot to freezing cold in seconds. The walls were extremely thin and everything could be heard between the walls and outside of th...

Pros (+) I loved how we could walk to the shopping and restaurants. We were able to walk to a hiking trail as well!
Cons (-) We couldn't figure out how to get the heater to turn off or the AC to turn on. It was pretty warm in the room.

Pros (+) The rooms were large and clean with a lot of natural light, the beds were comfortable, and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Great location by the Heavenly gondola. Everything worked; it was a cold weekend with lots of snow but the heater kept us plenty warm. They provide snacks in the room for fairly reasonable prices, which was a nice touch.
Cons (-) The walls are thin, so sound carries. Our room had an adjoining room next door and we could hear a lot of music and talking through the doors that separate the rooms. Fortunately, any loud noise seemed to stop fairly early in the evening, so it didn't affect our sleep at all.
