Retro Durham gem
Our family had such a great time at Unscripted Durham. Staff was friendly and helpful, location was perfect for exploring amazing downtown restaurants by foot. Parking was easy to use and central spot was perfect for jumping in the car when we wanted to check out sights further away.

Wish it were as cool as advertised
We went to this hotel as part of a weekend to see a ball game and stay in a retro hotel. The Ball park is fantastic and the game was great. The hotel was just ok. Our room didn't even have a window. and nothing on the walls other than wall paper over the bed to make it look "retro" the carpet in the halls needs replacement. the Bar in the main level was closed on a Saturday night. The Pool is as small as one you would have in your back yard ( maybe smaller) . For what it is its an okay hotel. However its not worth the price.

2/10 Poor

Terrible experience roaches aircondition broken
My stay was terrible. To check in early they charge $30 when half the hotel is empty and ready. Once checked in i go to my room the room is 80 degrees and the ac was not working. There was a bottle of wine and a card in my room. I assumed it may have been for them accidentally charging me for a broken window in a room my previous stay which was broke already prior to me as several front desk employees mentioned they've been noting it. Anyways i called down to ask them if the bottle was for me she said no and that she was going to come pick it up. When she came up i told her the ac wasn't working, she said wow it does feel warm. Maintenance came up he did something and said it was fixed. 30min later still not working. I left to work notified front desk it was okay to go in and fix while i was away she said she'd said maintenance up and if when i returned it was not fixed they'd switch my room. I returned back from work the main door was locked! You can't use your key card to gain access. The gentlemen at the front desk walked over and said this door is locked at night. You have to use the garage entry. I said okay great. I was on the phone and said to my partner would have been nice if there was a sign saying this. The front desk main inserted himself into my conversation to say thats what I'm here for in a very sly manner. I explained the ac issue asked if it was fixed he said how would he know Get to room ac still not working. He asked if i wanted to check out at 1am smh

Pleasant stay
It was fine. Jack super friendly. He and co worker gave us list of restaurants for dinner. We walked to all and all closed for Memorial Day. Real bummer. Rooms very small. Bed very comfortable.

4/10 Fair

Pros - kind staff and good location. Cons - rooms very simple, without a coffee machine in room. 4th floor rooms have very little privacy as there is a walkway outside. At night I couldn’t enter my room because the electronic lock on the room door ran out of battery. Overall poor experience

Thumbs Down!
Disappointing for the price we paid. The air conditioner pre-selected off at 1:30a and the room got HOT! Could not adjust! Left a laundry basket of dirty towels in the closet… and no black out curtains for the 24/7 lighting outside! Thumbs DOWN!
