The Patio At Unscripted - Durham

The only positive experience was the front desk. Shout out to Gabriel. Other than that this hotel was dirty, smelled moldy, had false marketing and 0 windows in some of the bedrooms. Do not stay here.

Whether you need a place to relax for business or want a weekend getaway with family and friends, this is the Premier Hotel in Durham. Fun people, Good Vibes, Fantastic Culture! P.S. The room was immaculate, food was fantastic, pool was phenomenal, and the staff was professional… with a degree of southern hospitality that you can only experience in the South, yet many NC hotel chains lack. But Unscripted makes you feel like you are a Rockstar, returning for a much needed vacation amongst Family!

I decided to stay here due to all of the glowing online reviews. I wanted to like it, but I did not. The Good: Centrally located in downtown Durham; the desk clerk when we checked in (I think her name was Gia was friendly, inviting and helpful. The room was clean (kudos to the cleaning staff I am sure work very hard . The Bad: I did not like the unusual decor of the hotel...I felt like I was on the set of 1960s sitcom Bewitched . I guess it 's supposed to be chic, but it all looked dated. My room was very small unattractive (why were there dark, out of focus Polaroid photos in a frame on the wall? The loud music/noise coming from the pool grated my nerves. If you want to relax, this is not the place. I really expected more for the price of the room. Unfortunately, this was my first last visit.

I really wanted to like this but I would not stay here again. I was traveling with my teenage son, visiting local colleges, and to get two queen beds we were placed overlooking the pool/bar area. And the music all afternoon and evening at the pool bar was loud, even inside our room. And this was a weeknight. The music is supposed to end at 9 p.m., and it did within a few minutes of 9, but it's on until 11 (with DJ) on the Friday and Saturday, in case you're tempted. Our door had a half-inch gap at the bottom, so I stuffed towels in there to try and cut the noise, and help the A/C, but with only limited success. The hotel's location is nice, as is the staff, but unfortunately if you want to relax in your room, or go to bed early, I'd probably look elsewhere. Or at least make sure you're in a different part of the facility.

Many unexpected charges. Staff unfriendly at check in and when we walked down to ask about questions. Very poor selection for breakfast. Coffee only to drink. Unable to sleep because of noise from pool and pool wasn’t clean
