**Hampton Inn Sneads Ferry North Topsail Beach - Guest Review**…read more I arrived before dark--rare for me--and walked into a brightly lit, clean, and attractive lobby. The front desk attendant greeted me as soon as I entered. He was extremely friendly and helpful, gave me my water for being a Hilton Gold member, and ran down all the breakfast details and other essentials. I was assigned a room on the second floor--first time in years I haven't been on the top floor. The hallway carpet is typical hotel hallway style--not offensive, not remarkable. Upon entering, there's a small foyer with the bathroom immediately to the left. The bathroom is clean and stocked with a hair dryer and an add-on plug-in night light, which is always a nice touch. However, like many Hampton Inns, you can tell housekeeping tends to push debris into the corners without scrubbing them, leaving visible buildup. A bit of wallpaper is peeling near the tub, but overall the bathroom is in decent shape. There's a single overhead light and fan, and it's adequately bright. The room itself is well-lit with a foyer light, two bedside lights, a desk lamp, and more. There's a dedicated desk area with a comfortable cloth rolling office chair. Plug options are great: two on the base of the lamp, two plus a USB on the desk, two more plugs and two USBs by the bed, and another desk area on the other side of the TV with two plugs and a USB port. The TV cabinet houses a small refrigerator and microwave. I was pleased to find my favorite style of coffee maker--the Hamilton Beach single-serve with sanitary disposable filter trays. There's also a handy wire rack cabinet and some small moveable ottoman-style assets with handles that are great for adjusting to your needs. The bedside table has a pull-out tray that's convenient. The HVAC is central and appears to function well. The towels were soft--an improvement over my last Hampton stay--and the washcloths and hand towels seemed fairly new. Bonus points for having name-brand Angel Soft toilet paper! I visited the breakfast area early in the morning and found it spotless. The egg product was an upgrade--small frittata-style rounds instead of the usual folded omelets with bell peppers. Big kudos to whoever's doing the food ordering. They also had sausage links, a waffle station, fruit, pastries, and either grits or oatmeal along with plenty of other choices. Checkout was also pleasant. The young man at the front desk was absolutely an asset to the property--upbeat, composed, and efficient even while juggling multiple guests. He should be mentored; he has the potential to be a top-notch hospitality manager. A few minor gripes: the nightlight in the bathroom is too bright--I had to cover it. Worse, there's a green flashing light (likely from the smoke detector) that blinked every minute and was so bright I could see it through my eyelids. I had to cover my eyes to get to sleep. The in-room air conditioner is rather loud when the compressor kicks in. Despite that, the room and hotel were quiet, and I didn't hear other guests during my stay. Overall, it was a solid Hampton Inn experience.

Need to add verbage later. Beyond pleased with everything. Superior hiring of staff. Highly…read morepleasant, professional and communicative. Especially young Malachi at the front desk with a positive extrovert personality. Exudes niceness.

CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT…read more I so badly wish that I could leave a 5-star review for the Island Inn! We really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect, room was clean, beds comfortable, and coffee maker hot. Unfortunately, after returning home from our great weekend trip I found that my credit card had been overcharged for the balance of the room ...by quite a lot. Thinking it was a simple mistake that could be fixed, I called right away on Monday morning and spoke to someone who took my info and said I would get a call back. She also advised me to email over my original booking receipt that showed my total. I did so. Over the next week I called and left messages two more times, emailed again, and reached out on social media. I got an immediate response on social media that someone would call me back as soon as possible. It has been days, and still nothing. I am absolutely baffled about why no one will talk to me about this overcharge. The real bummer is that we enjoyed our stay so much, we were already talking about returning next year. Now there is no way I would trust this company with my financial info ever again. Scrolling through reviews from the past few weeks, I can see I am not the only person this has happened to.

Pet friendly but told to keep dogs quiet when smoker complained. Smoker stood around and near our window to the outside and paced back and forth smoking the whole time.

So, we opted for a motel on the mainland & I'm glad we did! Topsail Shores Inn is a cute, boutique motel not far from the north bridge of Topsail Island. The room are cute, the beds were comfortable & it was exceptionally clean. (Most important thing to me!). Each room has a small kitchenette with sink, microwave, small fridge, small coffeemaker. There is a room safe also. There is a pool which was sparking clean. The office has bottled water, coffee, donuts, etc complimentary to all guests. Oh, did I mention, it's PET FRIENDLY! ( Upcharge) Price was decent too. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacy, beach ware shops. We will definitely be staying here again!

We've stayed at this motel many times over the past three years and have generally had positive…read moreexperiences. However, our most recent visit was extremely disappointing and unsettling due to an encounter with the manager's husband, Joseph Griffin. Over the years, we've heard stories from others about Joseph being aggressive and hostile toward guests, but we had never experienced it firsthand -- until now. During this stay, I was in the room asleep with my 3-year-old while my husband walked to the nearby Dollar General. A friend of mine, who I didn't even know was stopping by, came up the outdoor stairs with her dog to knock on our door, unaware that pets aren't allowed upstairs. The manager, Nell Griffin, came out and politely let her know that dogs were not allowed on the upper level. My friend apologized and immediately began walking the dog back downstairs. That should have been the end of it -- but then Joseph came out and began yelling at her very aggressively. Her father, who was with her, tried to calm things down, but Joseph continued to escalate the situation. As they left, he took down their license plate number. Soon after, Joseph came up to our room, yelling that we were being evicted and charged a $350 cleaning fee -- despite the fact that no dog ever entered our room, and I was asleep the entire time with my child. My husband wasn't even on the property when it happened. We tried to calmly explain that we didn't know what was going on, but Joseph refused to listen and told us to leave with no refund. When my husband returned, he spoke with Nell, who was much more professional and understanding. After explaining the situation, she allowed us to stay. Still, the experience left me feeling unsafe and uncomfortable, especially being alone with my 3-year-old while my husband was away fishing. I wanted to speak to Nell about how upsetting the situation had been, but I didn't feel safe raising the issue further out of fear Joseph might escalate things again or involve the police. This entire situation was blown way out of proportion by Joseph, after Nell had already handled it respectfully. His behavior was aggressive, unnecessary, and unprofessional -- and it made us seriously question whether we'll return to a place we've stayed at loyally for years. We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with the property owners directly, either by phone or email, to discuss how this situation will be addressed and hopefully rectified.

This place is right on the water. The unit was clean and comfortable. My girlfriend and I would just crack the door to listen to the ocean at night. We didn't need the extra bedrooms, but I imagine it would be a nice for families. There's a full kitchen so we just brought food, but there are a handful of restaurants within driving distance, and at least one that's walkable. We booked through Treasure Realty's website. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll be coming back to this unit again. Highly recommended.

The only gripe I had with the room is there was no tub in the bathroom so it was a little difficult to bathe a 4 year old and they gave us a connecting room so we just put a chair in front of the door before we went to sleep!

Coffee cups, plates, toaster, mini-fridge. There was soap, towels, dish soap & dishtowels. No shampoo / conditioner so be sure to bring your own. Everything was clean, neat & tidy. The staff isn't coming into rooms daily, you contact the front to coordinate what you want (trash, fresh towels / sheets, etc). I appreciate that we could determine contact like that. Glad to see the management doing all they can to both assure the health & safety of everyone and make sure you are happy with your stay. For a couple, or maybe a family with a little kid, I would highly recommend the motel. If you have a larger party consider two rooms for the extra space (they did have adjoining rooms available). Pro: Location Parking Super staff Cons: It is a bit of a drive to get to anything (restaurants, grocery store, etc) Traffic on certain days / times is very heavy.

My beachfront view was phenomenal and made for a relaxing visit. My only complaint is that dogs are allowed but only if their owner remains in the room with them. They are not allowed to remain in the room without a human and this changed some of my plans related to bringing my dog. (I wasn't able to do so.) Otherwise, the visit was nice and I may return if I have a dog sitter on hand.
