As long as you don't mind a little noise, The Crown & Anchor is one of the best gay resort-style accommodations in Provincetown. Built in the mid-19th century as a grand public hall for live shows and entertainment, today it's easily the liveliest social scene on Commercial Street with several gay bars, a restaurant, nightclub, cabaret theater, swimming pool and direct beach access. The 18 guest rooms are large and airy with huge Cape Cod style dormer windows and comfortable beds. Because of the number of drinking establishment on-site, this is an adult-only property, and proper ID is required at check-in.
