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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
