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.

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.

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.
