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.

Very good

Liked: The breakfast attendant, Kenneth, I believe was his name. He took pride in his job and was very helpful. Housekeeping was very quick to respond when we would call for clean towels. All of the hotel employees we interacted with were very friendly.
Disliked: The smoking rooms are on the same floor as non-smoking. The smell lingered in the halls and came into our room each time we opened the door. The lack of hot food choices for breakfast. The breakfast potatoes were very dry and lacked flavor and the scrambled eggs tasted like unflavored mush. The pool could have been much warmer. With the air vents blowing directly above the pool, it made it too cold to enjoy.

Grateful to have found such...

Liked: Stayed here for two days with my kids and they loved everything about this hotel. Great friendly staff. Helpful and accommodating. The gentleman working the breakfast buffet was fantastic. Greeted every single person and offered to get them coffee. Bartender Saturday evening was just as fantastic. Very relaxing experience.
Disliked: Our bathroom was very dated and some parts were questionable. We didn’t complain because the hospitality outshined this flaw.

Wonderful - 4.5 out of 5

Barbara Tue, 27 May 2025

Very pleasant surprise

Liked: Convenient location off of I-75, able to walk to several restaurants and shopping options. Very pleasant lobby with multiple seating areas, pool in the lobby, fitness room, game room, many table games. Excellent breakfast with good hours. Pizza/snack bar. Balcony overlooking the lobby. Very comfortable beds. Good showerhead.
Disliked: Lobby noise got pretty high at times, but to be expected on a long holiday weekend and many families staying. Would have appreciated a tighter closedown of the lobby at the 10 p.m. time.
