The location was really great. The room was nice. These were the things that weren't the greatest for me. My room was right by where the housekeeping staff keeps their supplies, so I heard all movement back and forth whenever they were in and out. I was right by the pool also and music played very loudly until at least 9:30. I'm almost positive it was later, but it was also a Sunday. Apparently the hotel is near a train station or train tracks, so that was also really loud. So, nice enough place but those things were just kind of a lot.

I had a wonderful stay at Unscripted Durham. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. Communication was excellent throughout my stay, and everyone I interacted with went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed. The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and had a great atmosphere. My room was spotless, comfortable, and exactly what I was looking for. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations. My only suggestion for improvement would be clearer communication regarding the parking situation. The signage could be a bit more straightforward, as I ended up paying $25 for parking when I was only using the lot for a short period of time. Other than that, everything was fantastic. I truly enjoyed my stay and would absolutely stay here again. Thank you to the entire team for making my visit such a positive experience!

Easy parking though if you have a large SUV, it might be a tight fit. Great location to several eating options and DPAC. Quirky motel style hotel. We stayed on the pool floor and it was Igloo season and music was playing. Staff was friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable as were the pillows, we slept well. We’d definitely stay there again.
