Location

Adjacent to an airport shuttle service and a movie theater, as well as being just blocks away from South Shore Plaza shopping and dining options, there is plenty to do nearby, even if you don't want to drive. Blue Hills Ski Area is a very short drive away, making it easy to hit the slopes whenever you like. Easy access to the highway makes it that much easier to explore the area.

• Distance to Blue Hills Ski Area ski access: 7 miles
• Within walking distance: An airport shuttle, a theater, and a sizable mall
• Transportation: You will probably want a car to visit the resort, but you can walk to most of what you want once you head home for the night
