Fun little Hotel.

Fun little hotel. Geared more towards adults. Lobby turned into a night club. Pool area nice but trying to hard to be resort with a pool area that small. I liked the views, location, and style of hotel. Would stay again.

OK Stay

Place could have been cleaner. Parking fee at checkout was confusing and not explained wee ll. Very unlikely to stay there again.
Thomas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s okay. Kind of reminds of an old beach motel. The pool was extremely dirty but it was windy as all get out that day. Rooms were fine. Staff was excellent and extremely helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

Love it!

The Unscripted Durham is a hotel I see often when I come to town and have always wanted to stay here. It did not disappoint!!! My boyfriend and I traveled from Philadelphia and the room was just what we needed after our long drive. Our clean, comfortable, spacious room overlooked the Bull downtown and pool area. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable and we felt right at home away from home.
Alexis, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was honestly a great stay nice bed. Nice TV nice area. One thing I didn’t like is why does the shower not have a door? I didn’t get that part water all over the floor everywhere but other than that pretty dope spot.
jamir, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was phenomenal. We only stayed for one night on a road trip with our 8 month old golden retriever. They were super dog friendly and went out of their way to send dog friendly restaurant recommendations and gave her a bag of branded treats. I thought I was going to not like the internal no window room but I didn’t even notice that it wasn’t there! Will definitely stay again on another trip to Durham.
Genevieve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice staff! The layout of the hotel was odd, but it was very clean and met my be needs for an overnight stay. I’d stay there again.

Expected more for what we paid. They had an overpriced breakfast.
Robert, 1-night trip

The manager is fantastic and did his very best to be a great host, given some staff shortages he was facing. We will go again and look forward to it
Kristine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a neat hotel. The rooftop dining was really cool as they had igloos and yummy winter drink options. It's in the heart of downtown and walkable to all the things. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was some crazy loud drag racing out front at 2am, but otherwise, a nice stay. Worth $500 for one night? No.

AC not working.

Air conditioning was not working. Reported to desk, when we went out. Returned at bedtime, still not working. Was not offered another room . At checkout, I inquired about a discount or refund. Was offered points towards a future stay. Won't be a future stay.

Great, clean place. Stayed three night and didn't receive room cleaning, which was a little strange. Had to ask twice for someone to come unclog the toilet, but other than those two issues, it was a great stay.
