Up to this year our "go to" hotel is the Hyatt Incline - the only downside is that it's a good 30m drive to Northstar (farther to Squaw) but not a big deal unless there is a blizzard. For those who have Hilton Points there is also a very basic Hampton near the Northstar entrance. However this year we have Mountain Collective passes so we will likely stay at Squaw Creek Resort which also has ski in/out and a dedicated lift, as well as a shuttle to the base village. As I noted above the RC is way overpriced.
For those who like Heavenly (which was my "go to" resort in college) there are many convenient options in S. Lake Tahoe/Stateline area - no reason to stay in north shore area unless you are here for a week and want to check it out for a day.
