I stayed at new Hotels (one was FSPL) and didnīt regret it. The room will be new, so no tear and wear. Otherwise it can have a "new smell". Some like it (if not paint etc.), some hate it. It may be some facilities arenīt ready like a SPA. Only an issue if you wonna use it. Service may be an issue, otherwise at some hotels service was reported to be much better in the beginning....
