Hi, I think you would enjoy a nice quite, weekend in Provincetown and I would suggest staying at the Crow's Nest in Truro (not far at all from P-town) it is a lovely place to stay. No, it is not a B&B or an Inn however I think it is even better. It is right on the water and every room has a nice view of Cape Cod bay, fireplace in the living room along with sliding glass doors allowing you to sit on the couch and enjoy the view of the water. They offer studio units, one bedroom and larger and I think it will even be below your price point of $200. We stayed in the off season and it was about $145 a night.
Provincetown is nice and quite in the off season, romantic even.You have the harbor to walk along, the National Seashore is right there so you can take a walk along the beach weather permitting. I am sure many of the shops will be open for the holiday weekend. I would also check out Fanazzi's for lunch or dinner, the food is wonderful and it is on the water.I did this 2 years ago and I loved it!

i suggest that you stay somewhere around Chatham because Hyannis an Yarmouth pretty shut down after Columbus Day. If you can afford Chatham Bars Inn then you should stay there. I think it will fall into your price range. The Chatham Bars also has an amazing restaurant.

Another Chatham alternative, much less expensive than CBI, is the Wayside Inn in downtown Chatham. You might also consider staying at the Hawthorne Inn, same view as CBI but 1/2 the price (or less).
