not a good stay

The Friday and Saturday service desk reps were great. However, the room air conditioner and room telephone didn't work despite the maintenance person's attempt to fix them, TV apps like Netflix didn't work because the internet service was poor, so I had to walk down to the front desk, and there was no soap in the shower dispenser. Plus, I tried to use a food voucher on Saturday at 9:30 am, but they ran out of the sandwiches I wanted and didn't offer a reasonable substitute or compensation.

Cool Bull City vibe but beware of fees

Unscripted is centrally located in downtown Durham - a big plus if you're in the mood to walk the city. We enjoyed our stay but do not expect a very updated hotel with modern amenities. The real letdowns that will likely make this our first and last stay was the surprise $15.00 per day 'Destination Fee' (which was not mentioned or made clear on Hotels.com), and no clear mention of breakfast availability for us. But hey, at least the $25.00 per day parking fee is mentioned up front. Luckily, many restaurants are within walking distance, and we enjoyed some really good food & beverages.

Terrible experience

We visited your hotel in January and had a very positive stay. So positive that we invited our friends to join us for this most recent stay. We waited in line quite a while to check in. Once checked in the Receptionist had very little knowledge of charges he was applying and seemed very confused. We checked in ok. Our friends were told, with a confirmed room, that there was no room for them and the hotel had upgraded them but they would have to pay for the upgrade. When our friends said that did not make sense, they were then told that there was no room for them! We had 5:00pm dinner reservations, prior to a play, and, because of this, we missed our dinner reservation as the Receptionist could not seem to figure out what to do for them and said that all management was in a meeting. Our friends ended up changing for the evening in the lobby restroom. FINALLY at 5:30pm we pressured the Receptionist to get someone in management, which finally happened. They did give our friends a room and we were on our way. This was very embarrassing for us as we had spoken so highly of your hotel and felt that the attention by the Receptionist, and management, was poor. This left a very bad impression on all of us. Our friends, staying at the same hotel, same dates, are Kathy Mulrenan. I feel that we both deserve some sort of compensation for this debacle in the form of a compensated room or reimbursement for our stay last night.

This is a neat hotel. The rooftop dining was really cool as they had igloos and yummy winter drink options. It's in the heart of downtown and walkable to all the things. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. There was some crazy loud drag racing out front at 2am, but otherwise, a nice stay. Worth $500 for one night? No.

This hotel is in a great location. Lots of good restaurants, the convention center, Carolina Theater and Durham Bulls are just a few blocks away. The room was clean and comfortable. However, late night a couple tried to get into our room and kept trying over the course of several minutes and my husband yelling that we were in the room and they had the wrong room. In the morning, a staff member snaked a cable under our door to unlatch it while we were getting dressed. We told the front desk about both of these incidents but got a very mild response. When I received the bill, it was for a different room number than the one we were given keys to. Nice hotel and location- management could improve.

There is nothing to like about the property. It is basically three floors of rooms along three floors of a parking garage. The only bar or food service is outside. Very hard to believe Hyatt has its name on it. It was central Durham, thus a good location to get around to DPac, Campus, etc. But rooms were small service was zero. Asked for soap for the shower. Never got it. Asked for a hard copy reciept. Wouldn't print one. YUCK
