While the staff didn’t create the problem, their excuses did! Came to property @ 2:40. Front desk, which was (1) person with a laptop😂 Was told check-in was not until 3:00. Came back @ 3:10 and there were an abundance of people in line. At that time the only excuse was that they had a busy day before & the rooms were still being cleaned. I was 4th that was finally checked in, which was at 4:30. The apparent reason for the delay was that the employees that performed the room cleaning were not @ work as US Border Control had been in the Raleigh/Durham area. Tell the truth and not give BS excuses... no one there to clean the rooms! Guests were given a free pass for breakfast the next morning. Came the next morning and there was (1) person in breakfast area working and (3) others guests in the area. Stood @ counter and FINALLY the manager of the hotel came and took our order. We were given our drinks and we proceeded to a table. After 30 minutes I asked where was our food. Deer in headlights response…you ordered what? Explained and after another 10 minutes later received our food which was (2) breakfast sandwiches. Before leaving asked for final bill as I had checked out before breakfast. The breakfast was charged to my bill. Told the front desk that it should have been at no charge & charges were taken off. Cool place, but staff…NOT!

The hotel has a really unconventional setup, rooms either don't have windows, or halfwalls with the door (very much like motels) and its quite noise so your options are not really great.

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.

The rooms were ok. Nothing great. The outside of the rooms really looks run down. The staff was not very helpful. They gave us a list of restaurants in the area on the day we left. There is no breakfast at all. One coffee pot. So no decafee coffee. No juice. No nothing. Holiday in. Is a better hotel. I would stay at any hotel besides this one.

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.

Pretty basic Motel level property

As long as you don't expect anything more than what you would find at a mid-range motel-it's fine. Very basic rooms, somewhat noisy, nothing to write home about.

All the charm of a mid-level motel

Unfortunately the choice of hotels in Durham is pretty terrible. The Unscripted is basically at the level of a mid-range motel. Very basic and uninspiring. As long as all you are looking for is just a clean motel room-it's fine. If you want something more luxurious (as we did) then it's a disappointment.

When we arrived, we were told one of the rooms we booked was not available and they have no backups available for us because they well oversold. I had a reservation for 2 rooms, both with 2 queens to accommodate 7 guests but they had nothing else available except for a single queen- accessibility room and they might be able to add a cot but it would be against fire code. We opted for the full refund. I don’t think I will be booking through Expedia or Hyatt again anytime soon
