Rooms lack wardrobes.
Past guests generally approve of the hotel's modest rooms but a lack of wardrobes means some find it difficult to store their clothes. This may be an issue if you're not the type of traveller that likes living out of a suitcase.

Some issues with heating.
A number of winter guests have experienced issues with in-room temperature. According to reports, air conditioning units can leave rooms on the cold side when the outside temperatures take a drop, which does happen in December and January.
