Either way, you really can't go wrong as they're both great properties!
I tend to hotel hop between these two properties as they are about as close as you can get. I think the above is spot on.
For non-DSU stays if you really care about a suite i find that the GH is more likely to offer you a choice between a suite or a great view of the water in a regular room whereas I've never been upgraded to anything beyond a corner room with no view at the olive 8
(tangent for future reference in this thread: if you walk out the pine street exit at the GH, cross the street, and walk half a block down the alley directly across from the GH exit, you hit the olive 8 car entrance)
