As for the rest, I am not bitter- far from it. I have travelled extensively and I can tell it is a run down property which is not on par with other 5 star hotels in KS or even with some other IC like the Danang one.
Haven't been to Danang but agree with the rest, not really fair to describe the property as run down I think though, just not very good, which is a shame as it could be really superb.

My guess is that the primary focus is on Korean and other Asian tour groups rather than those who might be more discerning and expecting a more luxurious experience overall.

If you want to play in the top end price bucket you should be on a par with your competition for like for like accommodation. The IC BTN is distinctly sub-par.
