The Unscripted-Durham is a cute/retro boutique hotel smack dab in middle of hopping downtown. Check-in wasn’t ideal but every single employee I interacted with was extremely nice/helpful. Parking was *not* included in my Expedia package, which came as an unpleasant surprise since it was conveyed to be included. The small pool and very large pool-lounge area are clearly the “stars of the show.” Food was decent, but would recommend checking out nearby eateries/bars over convenience of staying in.
