CONCLUSION

Choosing the Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo as the place to stay during our visit to Iloilo was easy. We enjoyed our stay at the Park Inn by Radisson Bacolod and since both has a great location, we did not hesitate in booking this hotel. The room has a nice design and well appointed. The hotel amenities were very good especially the pool which was very popular among the kids. The breakfast buffet restaurant had an extensive offering and all the staff we had contact with were all friendly. If there is one little thing to improve on, it would be that the size of the bed was on the small side. Otherwise, we had an enjoyable stay in this hotel and would gladly be back 👍
