The room was large with modern fittings. I found the proprietors friendly. Everything was clean and tidy.
The location felt a bit desolate. I noticed many closed shops. There was a lack of dining options.

sleepy location inflexible checkout
the location was definitely not my favorite part. wick itself seemed a bit... sleepy (maybe a bit too sleepy for my taste). finding decent grub proved to be a bit of a challenge with limited options. also, i asked for a slightly later checkout and it was denied. i was eight minutes late leaving and the host knocked, saying checkout was at 10 (i guess punctuality is key here).
