Room & bathroom were large & clean, but hallway noise was an issue. Room amenities were great (water, coffee, tea, fridge. safe). Could have used some more bathroom amenities such as q-tips & cups for toothbrush. Included breakfast was tasty, but I had to request voucher at bfast that check in staff neglected to provide the prior day.

The Unscripted-Durham is a cute/retro boutique hotel smack dab in middle of hopping downtown. Check-in wasn’t ideal but every single employee I interacted with was extremely nice/helpful. Parking was *not* included in my Expedia package, which came as an unpleasant surprise since it was conveyed to be included. The small pool and very large pool-lounge area are clearly the “stars of the show.” Food was decent, but would recommend checking out nearby eateries/bars over convenience of staying in.

Music, DJ, in the lobby was so loud we couldn’t even hear to get checked in. We were literally screaming back and forth so we couldn’t even hear hear each other. The music was ridiculous.
