Re: What to do if a Place fits more than one type?

That depends on the intended effect:

If you want to trigger rich snippets for a certain type, then, generally speaking, less types are better because it makes it easier for the search engine to find the proper snippet type. 

If you want to send relevance signals (what the page is about), then multiple types are fine.

Note the additionalType property for multiple types in Microdata syntax. This allows also a distinction between the primary type and additional type information.
