Located just down the road from the golf course and Selma, Bailey's Place has been beautifully landscaped to hold events, wedding ceremonies, etc. I was visiting here for a wedding. It's a gorgeous setup with an arbor, that the bride and groom got married under. There was seating set up in front of the arbor for guest. Behind the arbor was a cabin, that can be used for wedding party to get ready. But also can be used for receptions or having the wedding in. I believe this was the backup if it had rained. There isn't necessarily a parking lot, but a grassy area this is designated for parking. And lots of trees for shading.

They will be baked and next week we will go in to create our jewelry pieces. For the 2 week class it was $20, and they have other classes for similar prices! It was definitely a great experience and something not a lot of people in the community know about. In addition to the various classes, Madjax also has a monthly membership to their design lab where members would have access to all of the various tools they have, and would be able to receive training on them. They are going to be expanding their lab to include wood and metal working in the near future!

You can find events here from yoga, the workshops/club, concerts, small businesses, etc. It is still a work in process as they are continuing to renovate the place for more space. Currently is houses a Brewing Co. and printshop. I attended a concert here for The Outlet, which is a once a month Christian heartistic expression of arts events performed by musicans, artists, dancers, etc. The open space was nice, the warehouse/industrial look fit the theme, and the bathrooms were newly renovated and nice. The space for this event was big enough to fit a few hundred people and chairs were provided. For The Outlet in particular, vendors were setup and free food was provided to concert goers. There was an assortment of great performers from acoustics, to poetry, to rap and instrumentals. The Outlet is free to the public as well.

Street parking, plus a lot across the street with what might be another small venue. Walked in and: wow. They have kept a lot of the patina of the old building, but redesigned the spaces and added interesting touches. Very cool. Perfect for a small wedding, maybe a concert, etc. The ceremony and reception were both there; they reconfigured it while we had a cocktail hour upstairs. So many nooks and crannies, plus sweeping views, and lots of good places to hang out and talk. Really worked well. Sound was good, lots of natural light plus their own lights. Staff were excellent: friendly, professional, helpful, unobtrusive. We had a really great time. I would definitely recommend this for events in the area.

I had the best time at this Marriott. Looking at the photos I took of my room, I'm reminded just…read morehow much I loved my stay and will always remember it. My visit to Muncie was made all the better just by staying at this hotel. According to the internet, the official name of the hotel is the Courtyard by Marriott Muncie at Horizon Convention Center. Whatta mouthful! I'll just call it the Marriott. I never liked the term "conveniently located," because it raises the question: convenient to whom? It's such a nebulous, throwaway phrase. But literally, this Marriott is conveniently located in downtown Muncie, in the middle of the city and within steps of many restaurants and attractions. There's even a terrific restaurant attached to the hotel that's located downstairs (1925 Pubhouse). The hotel is next door to the Muncie Children's Museum, within sight of the Muncie Visitors Bureau, and across the street from a grassy area where many outdoor concerts happen during the summer. If you want to not use your car very much when you visit Muncie, but you want to do a lot and visit a lot of places, this is a good hotel at which to stay. One of the cool things about this Marriott is that it is a teaching hotel, and provides job training and employment for people with disabilities. I love that. The dude who checked me out of my room, and the homie who kindly sold me a cup of coffee and avocado toast, both had disabilities. My lovely interactions with them were an integral part of me loving my stay. As for my room: It had a comfy king-sized bed with lots of pillows, a TV that you can connect to Amazon Prime and other streamers to watch your favorite movies about hundreds of beavers, a mini fridge to store water bottles and chill a bottle of white wine, and a view that overlooks the city. It is a nice, clean, functional, comfortable, restful and special hotel.

It has been over eight years since my original review of Muncie, Indiana's Courtyard by Marriott at…read moreHorizon Convention Center Since that time, I've stayed in the hotel any time I return to Muncie and it has become a regular part of my travel routine within Indiana. The hotel is a Marriott franchisee owned by Arc of Indiana, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The hotel is a "teaching" hospital and plays host to the Erskine-Green Training Institute - Indiana's first statewide hospitality training center for individuals with disabilities. The goal is to train folks with disabilities for a competitive wage jobs. The hotel itself is a for profit project that provides an immersive training ground for those interested in hospitality industry jobs.The hotel is contractually obligated to have at least 20% of its employees be persons with disabilities. While Scott Wise's Thr3e Wisemen Brewery was part of the hotel in the beginning, it has been replaced by a similarly themed 1925 Pubhouse that also serves as a training restaurant for Erskine-Green. Opened in December 2015, this Courtyard is a six-floor hotel that is attached to Thr3e Wisemen, the Muncie Children's Museum and the Horizon Convention Center. Originally targeted for the old Roberts Hotel, which was snatched up and turned into condos before the project was greenlighted, the hotel ended up being built on land donated by the city of Muncie. During training, Erskine-Green Training Institute students stay at the hotel, unless they are relatively local and commute, while in their 10-13 week training programs. This also means, of course, that this Courtyard is one of the most accessible hotels you can imagine. Truly. It offers a variety of accessibility options in the majority of its rooms including wheelchair accessibility, roll-in showers, and adaptive equipment for both visual and hearing impairments. Some of the rooms even have automated doors (though, ironically, mine wasn't working during my most recent stay). The hotel was recently renovated as it nears its 10th anniversary. It offers spacious rooms, contemporary/clean decor, a fair pricing point, an in-house bistro that offers breakfast and dinner, an around-the-clock Starbucks option (not full menu), a nice and wheelchair friendly pool, a fitness center, and even a check-in center that has been made accessible. You should know, as it's a tad confusing, that the parking in front of the hotel actually belongs to the new condos. Don't park there. They seem a tad moody. Instead, there's a parking garage behind the hotel where guests park for free (It's $1 an hour if you're just visiting). There's no doubt my affection for Erskine-Green somewhat skews my rating, and I'll acknowledge that while I seldom have any issues on this visit the automatic door didn't work (and it's quite heavy without the automatic feature) and a packed house due to a convention clearly had the staff a bit overwhelmed. Minor quibbles (though having stayed from Friday evening to Sunday, I was a bit bothered that no one bothered to address the automatic door). On the plus side, a previous tip I'd made to lower the bed had actually been implemented. Bravo. As this is centrally located in downtown, the hotel attracts a variety of traveling guests, businesses, and others. On one visit, I even met the duo from Air Supply in town for a concert (If you don't know Air Supply, move on - I'm old. Get over it). The meeting rooms were nicely equipped, there were charging stations all over the place and even more since the recent renovation added charging stations at tables. Profits from this hotel go to benefit the Erskine-Green Training Institute and other ARC projects. So, you have a terrific room at a fair price with great service and you're supporting a great organization working to put folks with disabilities in the workforce. It really doesn't get much better than that.

They have so many rooms with different features on the walls. Old features like you would see in a cathedral. The event was crowded but not overly crowded.

I looked but couldn't find anything that sounded good. We wanted something different than a burger at the ale house. I look forward to exploring more of Indiana.

The bathrooms were very clean and the "break out" rooms were located upstairs on the second floor with about 8 rooms broken down into smaller rooms for classes. The overall setup and cleanliness were great, but the catering for the banquet at the end of the conference was where the standards stopped. My chicken dish along with my coworkers were raw and after multiple attempts to give us new plates the chicken was still pink. We ended up refusing the plates and settled for the chocolate cake and rolls on the table. After the meal I could see countless plates going back to the kitchen with the chicken still on them. I don't know if I will ever be back for a conference but I do know that catering department needs some work. I also want to point out that the server working our table was yelled at by the cooks when she took our plates back multiple times for something that was their fault not hers.
