I've stayed multiple times and loved it until my last trip in April. "Gulf Front" suites can be on either end of the hotel, so this time we were put on the eighth floor, directly over the parking lot and right across the street from construction. We could not use the balcony or have doors open during the day due to noise and dust. Even at night, the view and sounds are of traffic, music being played in vehicles in the parking lot, and people yelling on the street.
They claimed all suites were taken and the refused a partial refund and room change. I ended up paying for an additional room to sleep in and used the suite for eating, etc. Construction noise starts around 8 AM and it is LOUD- beeping trucks, jackhammers, etc.
I was willing to stay again with guaranteed room location. They do not guarantee room location!! You can only request a room away from construction. These rooms cost the same as other rooms at the hotel.
If you don't care about the view and/or noise, it is a nice hotel and the restaurant is great. Room service is reasonably priced. The only other issue we had was a sewage smell in one of the bathrooms. Thankfully, we had a half bath and could just keep the other one closed.
