Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod is known for its whale-watching trips, Commercial Street galleries, and the Pilgrim Monument - but you don't need deep pockets to stay there. Budget hotels in this area cluster around the East End and along the waterfront, where you can find rooms with free Wi-Fi, coffee makers, and parking from roughly $89 to $159 per night during off-peak weeks.
Top-rated options under this price point include the Seaglass Inn Provincetown (guest score 9.0), which serves a very good breakfast and has an outdoor pool, and the waterfront Breakwater Hotel, where rooms come with Keurig machines and private balconies over Cape Cod Bay. Crew's Quarters Boarding House offers a superb 9.2 rating and is a two-minute walk from Ryder Street Beach - a practical pick for travelers who plan to spend their days by the water rather than in their room.
