Beautiful warm room on a very cold wet weekend. Food excellent as always. Rooms: Our room had two chairs to sit on so no one had to sit on the bed to watch the TV. The hairdryer socket is next to a mirror and seat, so blow drying was made easier. Food is always a treat and breakfasts amazing using as many local products in both. Rooms: 5 Service: 5

This review captures the essence of Wick quite well. The place feels worn-out and outdated, and there was an unpleasant smell of fried food in the stairway. The rooms are small, and the restroom was dirty and appeared to have been poorly cleaned. The owner’s dog aggressively growled at any other dogs that entered, and the staff didn’t seem very helpful. Overall, Wick feels like a neglected and desolate town, making this hotel experience quite disheartening.

Nice family run hotel with comfortable rooms and a pleasant restaurant. A good overnight stop in a sadly care-worn town. The owners made us welcome. The restaurant was good. The food well cooked, presented and served. A good stop on the starting leg of the NC500.
