What are peoples thoughts and experiences when staying at a newly opened/thoroughly renovated hotel?

On one hand I'm keen to experience everything new and pristine, with the entire staffing team sure to be aiming to please especially in a competitive market in Doha/Middle East.

On the other hand, teething problems in the hotel and lack of real world training/experience by staff is a concern and worry, nothing worse than paying to go to a nice new hotel and it lets you down!
Just to provide an update on the newly opened Swissotel in Doha....it is a DRY hotel! A real shame, I was looking forward to a staycation at the new property and enjoying the delights of the Executive/club lounge, now...not going to happen!
