Retail park next door but out of town big shops.
The aquarium. Whale watching trips, Sam Adams brewery, Grand Ten distillary, Salem, etc. tons to do.
South mall is right behind the hotel... Waterfront is about 30 min walking
Some shopping (an outdoor 'outlet' mall) with a few chain restaurants. Little Italy is about 20 minutes drive (without traffic) and the convention center and promenade are 20 minutes in the other direction
