The Spotlight on Howard Johnson by Wyndham Lima

Affordable Comfort with a Fun Twist in Lima

Modern yet welcoming, the Howard Johnson by Wyndham Lima offers budget-friendly convenience just minutes from top Lima music venues and event spaces. Whether you're coming for a show at the Allen County Fairgrounds or exploring nearby attractions like the University of Northwestern Ohio, this hotel gives you a relaxed home base with unexpected extras—like an indoor pool and a game room.

Rooms are equipped with handy amenities including a microwave, mini-fridge, and flat-screen TV, perfect for winding down after a concert night. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected, and the on-site business center is there for any last-minute printing or planning.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel is just a 5-minute drive to the Allen County Fairgrounds, making it a top pick for quick access to shows and events. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere—ideal for post-show wind-downs—and the easy parking after late-night returns. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, the schedule is flexible enough for both early birds and night owls.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable stay with shared entertainment areas like the game room
  • Solo travelers attending once-in-a-lifetime concerts
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet space to recharge after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even if it starts late) with the hotel’s grab-and-go breakfast from the Rise and Dine café. While there's no full-service restaurant on-site, the property is close to local diners and fast food spots within walking or short driving distance. In-room microwaves and fridges are perfect for midnight snacks or storing concert leftovers.

Nightlife Options

Howard Johnson Lima keeps it chill—no on-site bar or live music, but local bars and lounges are just a short drive away. If you're looking to keep the party going, downtown Lima offers a few fun spots without the hassle of big-city crowds.

What People Say

Guests on review sites love the clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff. Many mention the indoor pool and game room as great places to unwind between shows. The location and price combo is a standout, especially for event-goers who don’t want to overspend on accommodations.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests are happy with the basics, some mention that the style is a bit dated and the grab-and-go breakfast could use more variety. Still, it's a solid choice for the price.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking affordable comfort, easy access to venues, and a few fun extras, Howard Johnson by Wyndham Lima hits the right notes.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Nancy C D, Shelby Township

Liked: A pleasant atmosphere, aesthetically appealing (indoor balconies are sharp), clean and comfortable beds. Note, during our stay interior construction was going on. Thank you.
Disliked: The continental breakfast reflected little effort (very small buffet, few choices, I bit into rotten apple, terrible coffee, gas-station type pastries). Also, pool should have had towels at poolside and not depended on customers to bring their own.

Great value and convenient location...

Liked: The hotel is located right off of a major highway in Ohio within a block of many hotels. There is a large pool, but the hot tub has been removed. There is no giftshop. The room was extremely affordable compared to the other hotels. It is an older hotel that has been renovated. There is a huge Howard Johnson orange Adirondack chair out front for a photo opp. The breakfast spread was nice - toast, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, folded eggs with cheese, sausage, yogurt, fruit, milk, and waffle makers. There is a fish tank in the lobby and a brochure rack.
Disliked: The sheets had black marks on them, likely from the industrial washing machine. We were really looking forward to the hot tub, but it is no longer available. The breakfast attendant constantly checked on us and removed our plates - I prefer to eat in peace.
