Rizal Park Hotel as Hotel Preps Rating: 3.5/5 Before we booked them, okay naman ang lahat, not until nagpadala sila ng bagong terms of conditions na iba sa una T&C nila nung nagbook kami..

Hindi rin nila nasunod yung nirequest kong room nung nag ocular kami.. So medyo badtrip and minus points. O

Inisip ko na lang templated and ganoong gupit talaga ginagawa basta Groom. Come wedding day, akala
