Awesome location. Very cool atmosphere. We were there for an art event and it was loud in the area. If you are looking for a quiet stay - this is not it. But if you are looking for a fun, upbeat atmosphere - book it now!!

Clean room. Not a lot of service or amenities that I expected from a Hyatt hotel. If you’re looking for a clean well located place to rest your head - this will work. Central location is great but if you are worried about noise this isn’t the place to stay.

I stayed at Unscripted Durham for one night while in town for the Chris Brown concert. Overall, it was a clean, comfortable and simple stay. The location is definitely a plus. It’s within walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops, which made it really convenient. Parking is $25 per night, but you do get unlimited in-and-out access, so that was nice. The room itself was pretty basic but did exactly what it needed to do for a short stay. Nothing overly fancy, but comfortable and clean. Would I stay here again? Yes, especially for a quick trip or concert weekend.

Great spot to stay if you’re going to a show at the Carolina Theater or DPAC. Both of the night time bartenders were great. We also really enjoyed the DJ.

Our room (201) was comfortable, clean and had nice natural lighting. The spacious bathroom and products were much appreciated. The hotel lobby could use a refresh as it didn’t match the light and brightness of the room. The garage could use a serious power wash and a repaint but it was explained to us that the garage was a separate operator from the hotel. The hotel’s central location can’t be beat.

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.

Great location and lots of restaurants and activities nearby. However, I had booked a king room a couple of months ago, but when we checked in, I was told they were sold out and so they offered a queen room with no other options. We still had to pay $25 for parking and he offered a drink to make up for it. Then, there was only a partial roll of toilet paper in the room and didn’t realize this until settled in and refrigerator wasn’t plugged in so we had to plug it in and wait for it to cool but had cold drinks we needed to put in it. We could have called and had them deal with it and bring more supplies, but when you are paying over$300/night you expect the room to be ready and functional.

This hotel is a well done retro reno place. It is a former old-fashioned motel with rooms surrounding the outdoor pool. There are lots of great eateries and it is a very convenient walk to DPAC. The property has lots of amenities, including yoga, room service and a poolside bar. The only downside to this is that there was a dj at the pool during the afternoon, and it was so loud that, even with our door closed and pillows over our heads, we couldn't block out the sound. However, it did make for a very communal atmosphere.
