RE: Motels nearest Muncie site
Fwiw, as others have said, all the hotels are grouped together, because that's all there is. The only thing in the other direction from the AMA site is a bunch of farms.
And as others said, even the "farthest" hotels are really pretty close. I always stay at the Signature Inn for Nats, and the drive isn't a problem at all.
It's also close to food, and has a pool.
