The area around the IC seems very 'institutional' to me ; Parliament House, universities, museums etc and is at the edge of the CBD. The building looks really old and run down.
The CP seems to be more centrally located, and very close to the pedestrianised shopping street (Rundall Mall ?) which is a more lively area. Building looks new and modern, and most rooms appear to have balconies. The CP definitely looks more appealing than the IC.
I remember there is a free bus service in the city, and the tram is free within the CBD. Adelaide CBD is quite compact anyway, so I wouldn't put too much emphasis on proximity to certain attractions.
