Dr. Bob I don't see the train station at 1 mile away that you mentioned...do you know where it is?? I looked these up on the AMTRAK site and Mapquested the distances:
Providence, RI, 100 Gaspee St. 20.76 miles approx 26 minutes
Westwood, MA, 50 University Ave. 16.41 miles approx 19 minutes
Does this help Johnny O??

If you check ground transportation from either Airport they have the routes listed. The Hotel says on their website that their shuttle will pick you up from the MBTA commuter rail station. I think the commuter line runs from the AMTRAK stations also.

I did a little more research (after I posted here, DOH!!) and found that the MBTA does run from Providence to Mansfield. So, it'll be AMTRAK to Providence, MTBA to Mansfield, Shuttle to hotel!! Very cool!!

Johhny-O and I talked about this at Getaway's Halloween party Saturday, and I told him I'd get back to ya. Kenny St. Onge and I talked about this about 10 days ago. It seems that if you're flying into Green airport in Providence, that you can take the MBTA commuter train right into Mansfield, and there is a shuttle bus available to take you to the hotel. I'm going to PM you with my number and some more info, so you can get back to me if you need to.
