With seven playfully themed suites, the Designer Inn & Suites is a good option for a weekend getaway or overnight surprise. The Roman Retreat features Roman-style pillars and statues, a mini-bar and a hot tub. The Crystal Cave looks like something out of the Flintstones, and includes an in-room sauna and a memory-foam bed mattress. Another favorite is the Rainforest room, with a bed surrounded by tiki torches and the sounds of a waterfall and jungle life. Other themed suites include Arabian Nights, Hearts Delight, Northern Nights and Aces Wild, a casino-themed room. All suites include either a wet or dry bar, large television and a special spa amenity--either a hot tub, sauna or extra-large shower. Guests can also pre-order "Romance Baskets" to be placed in the room, which include items such as flowers, chocolates and wine. Outside the fantasy rooms, guests can visit nearby attractions such as the John Ernest Vineyard & Winery and the Meskwaki Casino. Nearby restaurants include Rube's Steakhouse & Lounge, the Blue Grass Cafe, the House of Chen and Godfather's Pizza.

With a nod to the history of the Perry, Iowa area, the Hotel Pattee's themed rooms all focus less on the fantasy and more on contributions of the various ethnic groups and founders that settled in the area. The Irish Room is patterned after the culture of Ireland, while the Central American Room is dedicated to the Latin influences in the region. The R.M. Harvey Room has a circus feel to it, since the man it's named after was a circus owner. The Louis Armstrong Room, Woodworking Room, Needlepoint Room, Swedish Room, Japanese Room and a host of others make up the 40 individually themed rooms and suites of the hotel. Each room and suite also includes cable television and free wireless Internet access. The hotel also offers a sauna, steam room, whirlpool and two-lane bowling alley. There is an on-site restaurant, David's Milwaukee Diner, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nearby attractions include Ledges State Park, the Iowa Arboretum and the famed Bridges of Madison County.
