Provincetown Lodging Advice

Commercial Street location: Commercial street numbers that are comfortable walking distance from the centrally located venues are 150 to 450. Roughly speaking, the geographic "center" of town is MacMillan Pier at 260 Commercial Street.

Bradford Street location: For Bradford Street the street numbers in a comfortable walking range are from 50 to 175. Lodging outside of these numbers is still very walkable but figure a ten minute walk outside these numbers.

Parking: If you are booking a bed and breakfast, be sure to ask about parking. Some offer free parking spots which are hard to come by in Provincetown.

Bathrooms: Be sure to ask if your room has a private bath or a shared bath.

Noise: Provincetown is a small city in the summer with a VERY vibrant nightlife. If you are bothered by street noise or nightclub music, be sure to ask the lodging establishment about these noises.

Pet friendly, family friendly, smoking, etc: Be sure to ask about your special needs. It's a good idea to call a couple different establishments so you can choose the best one that is right for you.
