The drawback from not doing a Lifestyle is that (as SSmith indicated) you cannot get TV IDs to get into Katie Belles, rec centers, etc. This could be solved if you have any friends who are TV residents as they can procure guest passes...

If you are mostly going to be looking at homes, I don't think your choice of where to stay matters - as long as it is one of these two hotels or a Lifestyle. Other hotels that are not right "in town" are less convenient - although some are still pretty close.

If you really want to go to KB's, visit rec centers, etc. then the Lifestyle preview is the way to go.

But most of all - have fun!
Without a TV ID - I can't get into Katie Belle's?... am I reading that right?
