As it happens, I've stayed at the latter. They said, as most do, that with lounge access I could choose the restaurant or the lounge, so I went to the restaurant for the steak.

When I stayed at IC Bangkok, they said I could choose the lounge or either of two restaurants for breakfast. I chose the lounge, because it has steak and the restaurants do not. (The opposite of CP Hiroshima.)
