TL;DR
Rooms facing the construction site are actually fine noise-wise, since the balcony stays closed in summer anyway. Rooms facing the road are a bad choice — constant traffic noise plus construction starting at 4am. Best option is a room with pool view.
Best option is booking a room with pool view — based on experience it's the quietest choice with no road or construction noise issues.
Road-view room is a poor choice — even a closed balcony doesn't block the traffic noise (comparable to a busy highway), and construction starts at 4am.
Stayed at the hotel a year ago: the room faced the construction site, but no noise was heard since the balcony stays closed all summer due to heat.
From the construction-view room the sea is still visible, but the cranes are far away and don't affect the overall impression — most time was spent at the pool anyway.
