About this place Designer Inn & Suites

Designer Inn & Suites is a small independent motel at 403 US-30 Business in Toledo, Iowa, a rural town in Tama County. It is a mainstream place listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. It mainly serves people driving US-30 or visiting the Tama and Toledo area, including the nearby Meskwaki casino. Reviews are mixed (3.5 from 316), so check recent ones before booking. Note that it is not in Cedar Rapids: the drive east to Cedar Rapids is roughly an hour. There is no gay nightlife locally; the nearest small scenes are in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Des Moines.

Great Value. We paid $80 with tax, modest breakfast included. The motel was older but well maintained and clean. Staff was very friendly. I was able to reserve a room with just a name and phone #m

I will never go here again unless it's my last resort. The fan in the bathroom is really loud and the toilet didn't flush very well. The fridge was too cold for my drinks, so we had to clean up an explosion that occurred. Lastly there was a cockroach and I only saw the one but usually if there's one, there's probably more.

We found this in the outside trash when taking dog potty. 15 min after check in we were GONE! Refused a refund. There was also duct tape in the bathtub.

My partner and I got the Aces Wild room for the night this weekend and had a blast. As two plus size people, the big jacuzzi was so nice. We did run into a small issue with the tub, but management was very responsive and helped. Can't wait to book the Cave room next! For a little run-down hotel in a dinky little Toledo, IA, it was fun to go thrifting, get some snacks from Kwik Star, and chillax in a fun themed room!
