The lower-middle-range Alder Inn is a solid choice for families and other travelers seeking affordable accommodations in a central South Lake Tahoe location. This 24-room, family-run property enjoys a quiet location amidst towering pines that’s still a short walk to the lake and a brief drive to the Nevada casinos and the gondola at Heavenly Mountain Resort. It’s a two-story, motel-style property with exterior corridors, no elevator, and limited amenities. But it does have a nice heated pool, whirlpool, and outdoor recreation and picnic area with many games. Rooms are clean and individually decorated with contemporary furnishings including Keurig coffeemakers, microwaves, robes, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. Rates are attractive, but don’t include breakfast (no food is available on site). It's worth comparing rates with the nearby Postmarc Hotel and Spa Suites.

Deerfield Lodge at Heavenly is a mid-range property located in South Tahoe, a 10-minute walk from the famous lake. The convenient setting is also walking distance from restaurants, ski rentals, and Heavenly Ski Resort. Most guests stay here because of the 22 contemporary rooms and suites with kitchenettes and fireplaces. Some suites have two-person jetted tubs and master bedrooms with fireplaces. The quiet property has few on-site features, there's no restaurant or whirlpool. However, continental breakfast is served and there is an outdoor barbecue area and a nice living room-style lobby with a huge stone fireplace. The Lodge appeals to outdoorsy families and couples (and their pets) that plan to be out skiing and exploring all day. As an alternative, Marriott’s Timber Lodge has a restaurant and huge outdoor pool, only slightly higher rates.
