Provincetown Theater Tours and Activities

Poor cleaning of room. Sheets and floor

great location!

The Provincetown Inn was undoubtedly a grand place in the 1930s when it was built. It appears to have been updated a bit in the 1950s or '60s, but otherwise seems mired in the past. Our small room was adequate and fairly clean, but lacked modern amenities such as electrical outlets which aren't fully taken up by lamps, etc.. The nicest thing about our room is that it had a second door opening onto a back porch, with the pool and beach just a few steps away. The door also gave access without walking through the long circuitous corridors within the hotel. Those common areas are quite bizarre! Vast areas with a few pieces of funky old furniture, but mostly lots and lots of empty space. There are a couple of dysfunctional function rooms, a small coffee shop which had a few customers in the morning, and a stuffy old restaurant which seemed to be closed. Even the bar which supposedly was open until midnight looked closed or had no customers any time we passed by. A huge barber shop was also closed and seemingly abandoned. The throngs of people who frequent Provincetown would definitely not go there seeking a fashionable new look! Now, this was on the busiest day of the busiest week in Provincetown and the list price for our room was well over $1,000.00 a night. Every other business was packed, often with lines of people waiting to get in. Other than their high-priced rooms, no one wanted to be at the Provincetown Inn because they had nothing anyone would be attracted to.
