My stay was nice. I chose this hotel to celebrate my birthday on the pool deck, but found out the day off, the bar and music dj were closed. If i would have known, I would have chose a different hotel with less fees. Parking was $20 a night which I thought was $15. Other than parking fees, and limited bar/music area, it was nice.

We loved everything about the stay except having to pay $40 for parking (we parked on Friday afternoon and left at 11am on Saturday and it charged us $40). We were very unclear of the parking rules when we checked in and are hoping another $40 doesn't get charged to our hotel room.

The Unscripted is perfectly central to everything you’d want in a downtown hotel. The room, a Superior Queen, was also comfortable and nicely updated. Except our room looked out into the hallway, so it was dark and felt too close to the public areas. I asked for another room and they wouldnt budge even though I’m supposed to be an Expedia VIP. For $300 a night I expected more.
