10/10 Exceptional

Great location

Very friendly staff and very convenient to DPAC. Will definitely stay again!
Sarah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Cool Bull City vibe but beware of fees

Unscripted is centrally located in downtown Durham - a big plus if you're in the mood to walk the city. We enjoyed our stay but do not expect a very updated hotel with modern amenities. The real letdowns that will likely make this our first and last stay was the surprise $15.00 per day 'Destination Fee' (which was not mentioned or made clear on Hotels.com), and no clear mention of breakfast availability for us. But hey, at least the $25.00 per day parking fee is mentioned up front. Luckily, many restaurants are within walking distance, and we enjoyed some really good food & beverages.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In a cute area of town. It was easy to find and had some cute shops nearby.
Brittani, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

not a good stay

The Friday and Saturday service desk reps were great. However, the room air conditioner and room telephone didn't work despite the maintenance person's attempt to fix them, TV apps like Netflix didn't work because the internet service was poor, so I had to walk down to the front desk, and there was no soap in the shower dispenser. Plus, I tried to use a food voucher on Saturday at 9:30 am, but they ran out of the sandwiches I wanted and didn't offer a reasonable substitute or compensation.

Great spot!
Charles, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay!

Great location. Just a few steps from the convention center, where the conference I was in town for was hosted. Clean and comfy with retro decor that’s too cute. My room overlooked the lively pool and bar so it was a little noisy, but earplugs were provided, and I didn’t mind. The lobby had a DJ, and if I were a few years younger, I would have had a ball dancing! I will definitely stay at this venue again the next time I’m in downtown Durham.
