Great location for attending shows at Carolina Theater. Safe area with lots of dining/drinking options.

Cool hotel, great thai restaurant around the corner. I wouldn't waste my time to visit Durham unless I had to go.

Terrific location, beautiful pool area, and very friendly staff!
Jodie, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

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.

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.

Very friendly staff and very convenient to DPAC. Will definitely stay again!
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

I really like the pool in the view in this hotel is very convenient if you wanna walk around the city.
Tyra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In a fantastic location, unbeatable if you’re in Durham. Driving distance from major attractions. Parking was easy. Pool is fantastic, was fun to head to it any time and was open late. Very friendly bartenders at the pool! Drinks were great, food looked good didn’t have any. I will say it was pretty hard to get the VIP breakfast tickets, but once we got it, not too bad a of a deal especially if you’d be traveling solo. Room was roomy and clean, had a slight smell of sulfur??? Nice and quiet though, even with the hotel parties and pool right by the room.
Ryan, 3-night trip

In a cute area of town. It was easy to find and had some cute shops nearby.

Very nice staff! The layout of the hotel was odd, but it was very clean and met my be needs for an overnight stay. I’d stay there again.
Mary Ella, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s okay. Kind of reminds of an old beach motel. The pool was extremely dirty but it was windy as all get out that day. Rooms were fine. Staff was excellent and extremely helpful.
Kim, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Zaire(front desk) and Will(bartender) gave superior customer service. From check-in to checkout we felt extremely cared for particularly by these two employees.
Shawn D., 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
