Survey Reveals the Most Expensive Destinations in the USA

NEW YORK, July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Provincetown, located at the extreme tip of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, is the United States' most expensive destination in terms of its hotel costs. That's the finding of a new survey from CheapHotels.org. The survey compared hotel rates for all destinations in the USA for this summer's main travel period of July 1 to August 31. 

The rankings were determined based on the average cost of each location's cheapest available double room.

Visitors to Provincetown will have to spend, on average, $217 per night for a double room. That figure makes the coastal Massachusetts city the country's most expensive destination. Coming in as second most expensive is New Jersey's Cape May with an average price of $204 per night. Following closely in the number three spot is Martha's Vineyard, which is located close to Provincetown in southern Cape Cod. The most affordable double room in Martha's Vineyard is averaging $202 nightly this summer.
