Unscripted is a unique property in a good location. The room was quite small and had no windows. However it was clean and interesting in design.

Easy parking though if you have a large SUV, it might be a tight fit. Great location to several eating options and DPAC. Quirky motel style hotel. We stayed on the pool floor and it was Igloo season and music was playing. Staff was friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable as were the pillows, we slept well. We’d definitely stay there again.

Liked: Staff & service
The location and staff were fantastic. I feel the nightly price was way too high for the very basic amenities and not extremely clean room. There is a $14.99 daily fee that they don’t tell you about unless you scan the QR code that is behind the keys in the envelope they give you at check in. It explains that the fee covers bottled water, coffee service, pool, as well as some discounts at area businesses. But, our room had no waters, the pool looked nice but it’s off season, the coffee is available in the lobby but they don’t tell out that. I did ask about it, especially no water in the room and they waived the fee. But it’s something to be mindful of. Additionally, the AC is on some kind of timer, we lowered it so the room would be cool when we got back from being out, I woke up in the middle of the night sweating to the setting being at 85*. I lowered it again to 68* and when we woke up in the morning it was at 75*. When I first learned of unscripted, I was excited, seemed like a very cool spot, with kitschy vibes but they missed the mark or dropped their standards since opening.
