Carpe Diem Guesthouse & Spa is a relaxing, four-pearl escape from the party scene of Provincetown -- but it's still close enough for those who feel like getting out and joining the fun. Each guest room is individually decorated in a nautical, New England fashion and is named after a writer. All come with flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges. Perks such as a delicious free breakfast, free wine and cheese hour, and a full-service spa are also draws for the adult-only crowd. Travelers could also consider the Crowne Pointe Historic Inn & Spa, which has a dinner-only restaurant on-site and free transport to the beach and local airport.

The 88-room Surfside Hotel & Suites is a pet-friendly value property on a private beach. Breakfast is served in the lobby where there’s also an indoor bar. Rooms are colorful and contemporary, but they can also be cramped and/or noisy from street noise. Still, all have mini-fridges and microwaves, and many have beachfront balconies. Apartments with full kitchens are also available. For something with a bit more character, travelers could try the three-pearl Snug Cottage B&B, which can also have lower rates.

Snug Cottage is a quaint B&B with an excellent location and some great perks. The eight rooms are rustic and cozy, and feature fireplaces as well as modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and free Wi-Fi. Free afternoon treats such as wine, lemonade, and cookies, a delicious free daily breakfast -- and free parking in Provincetown (a rarity) -- make this a stand-out option. But even though it's just one block from busy Commercial Street, peace and quiet reign here -- so party people may want to look elsewhere for a place to crash.

The Salem Waterfront Hotel and Suites is an attractive hotel that caters families and business travelers, as well as those looking to party during Halloween. The hotel is located in downtown Salem, an artsy Boston surburb that uses its history as the site of the Salem Witch Trials to maintain an economy based on tourism. At Halloween, the streets come alive with costumed party-goers, historical reenactors, and Salem's famous ghost tours. This culture colors the experiences of those staying at The Salem Waterfront Hotel, especially during October, when noise (and congestion, as traffic must be rerouted) from the streets below can either make this an exciting, centrally-located place to stay, or a loud, crowded, and annoying one -- depending upon what guests are seeking during their stay. The Salem Waterfront's name could be considered misleading; located adjacent to an active functioning marina, rather than a beach, guests with water views from their rooms are far more likely to look out over docked boats than shoreline or ocean. Amenities such as free Wi-Fi and an iPad lending program also make this hotel a good choice for business travelers who are passing through during the hotel's quieter off-seasons.

The historic Hawthorne Hotel is a quaint property that exudes classic charm in the heart of downtown Salem, Massachusetts; the hotel has seen its share of VIPs and dignitaries over the years. Rooms include plush furniture and handsome floral textiles. There is a tiny fitness center on site, but the lavish ballroom and two on-site restaurants are major highlights (as is the hotel's own ghost story -- for many guests). It might be worth comparing rates with the Salem Waterfront Hotel and Marina, which features lovely sea views and a slightly more chic vibe.

The 21-room Crow’s Nest Resort is a mid-range beachfront boutique on the Outer Cape with apartment-style rooms featuring beach-themed decor and fully-equipped kitchens. All rooms have lovely, unobstructed views of Cape Cod Bay, and the hotel's private beach is right on the doorstep. Rooms range from studios to three-bedroom units and are tastefully decorated with homey, beachy decor and feature many conveniences including washers and dryers, free Wi-Fi, and cable TV with HBO. The full kitchens are equipped with dishwashers, coffeemakers, pots and pans, dishes, and other essentials. Guests come here largely for the beach, as there are no other property features and the hotel is not well-situated for exploring Cape Cod’s sights. For something closer to Provincetown’s center, guests could try the beachfront, dog-friendly Surfside Hotel & Suites, but rooms there are much smaller.
