Raintree Inn

Free breakfast: Packed doughnut and hot coffee
Price: probably the best in the area
Conclusion: should listed as a free snack in the morning, not breakfast
Nothing special, clean (ok) but nothing special, however, save money$$

Apparently it is under new management and now it sucks. It looks like a ghost town every time you pass it. I use to have family stay here when they were in town but never again. I would have them stay in a tent in my yard before I would ever have them stay here again. Gross! Stay at the hotel with the Big Shoe better service and it looks a lot nicer.

Raintree Inn is the pits. What once was an icon in New Castle is now the eyesore of New Castle. I’ve seen this place deteriorate over the years. Price is too much compared to much better places nearby that are equal or less than in regards to cost. Very dirty, very outdated, very broken down, and in need of demolition. Sink vanity was pulled an inch away from the wall. Light switch in bathroom was pulled out. Exhaust fan in bathroom was filthy and screeched like a hen being eaten by a fox. Cobwebs everywhere and filth in corners. The mirror was smokey filthy. The bed was broken down three inches on one corner. Our fridge had mold on the seal and the tub was molded around the caulking. The pool is permanently closed. The only reason we stayed both nights is because the few clean motels were booked. My advice is, if you can’t find a room at the few nicer hotels in New Castle, make the drive to the north side of Muncie.

This is a small town hotel for sure. I had called to make reservations for a co-​worker and I. They asked if we wanted the ‘new’ part ($ 75/​night) or the ‘old’ part ($ 55/​night). I opted for the ‘new’ part. The phone call took forever as the front desk person had to enter the information in 3 times. He gave me the room numbers once the booking was done (very odd). When we got to the hotel, the front desk person had two rooms booked but one was a suite for over $ 100/​night. I don’t think so!!! Luckily they had another room available.
They have plenty of parking. The outside of the place is falling apart. It really needs some TLC. The hallway floors were clean but the walls were just dirty. The rooms themselves were clean. I was very happy to find them clean (I really had to wonder if they would be). However, the walls and ceilings need repaired. The outlets in the bathroom did not work.
Would I recommend staying here… eh, if you have to stay in New Castle, ok. Otherwise, find a better place.
