This small city of about 40,000 people in North Western Ohio has a range of chain hotels for people passing through or staying for a visit. Lima is just under a five hour drive to Chicago and features several golf courses, including the picturesque Hidden Creek Golf Club. After resting up at the hotel of your choice, check out a theatrical show in the Veterans Memorial Civic Center performance hall. To wind down the evening, grab a coffee and enjoy Friday's open mic night at Coffee Amici or take a walk in one of the dozens of public parks. If you are looking for a smaller hotel, you might want to visit nearby Mansfield and the surrounding suburbs, where you can find Victorian and Farm house Bed and Breakfasts.
