Pinewood Inn

Pros: good enough for the money. no frills, but for staying close to skiing without breaking the bank, it gets the job done.

Good for a stay on a budget

Pros: The staff was polite and curteous, they accommodated my pet even though they didn't have to. The room wasn't anything special but it was nice and cozy, it had its own heater, refrigerator and microwave. The location was great, a couple blocks away from Safeway and Ihop and about 1 1/2 miles away from Heavenly. Good hotel if you're budget conscious.

Cons: The carpet was damp (most likely from a problem in the foundation as there were minor lumps in the flooring under the carpet). The walls were very thin, we could hear people in the room across the hall from us talking clear as day and the room above us had loud squeaky floors in certain places but overall good little hotel for the weekend if you're on a budget.

Clean, cheap, and great location

Pros: - Clean - Cheap - Good Location - Microwave/refrigerator in room - My room was at the back of the parking lot and was very quiet

Cons: - Could hear next-door TV through wall (bring earplugs)

Better than expected

Pros: For a cheap one night stay, this place was perfect. Close to everything in Tahoe, easy to get in and out.

Cons: Like other reviews have mentioned, the place looks like it was last renovated in the early 80s and it isn't particularly clean, so I wouldn't recommend it if that matters to you

Very good value

Pros: The price was right and the buildings are old and a little bit shabby with zero landscapping, but my room was clean, very comfortable and lacked for nothing. Refrigerator, microwave, TV, plumbing--all were in good repair.

Cons: The floor in room #8 is very bumpy and unevern. A little bit annoying, but it's well padded so I would say it's more of a distraction than a danger. Might cause trouble for someone with balance problems.
