Meet-up at D'Hotel and Suites - Tallest building in Dipolog with uber rock star qualities

It's been a while since we last saw each other. I have made a lot of good friends coming from the academe in this part of the region. I am glad she's one of those who stay true and do keep in touch once in a while. A lot of them do.

While in Dipolog attending the 5th PSITS Regional Convention, we had the time to meet. After some few hours of rest inside my Camilla hotel room, she stopped by to take me out to dinner.

We often meet whenever i am in town. Dipolog City is topping my list of frequently visited cities. I have to write that i have great memories here for the last seven years and lasting friendship, too. People from Dipolog are really friendly. You should definitely include this place in your bucket list.

I hopped into her motorbike (yup, she's a biker chick) and started speeding towards the latest hotel in town - D'Hotel and Suites. She tells me they serve good japanese food here and you can enjoy a great night view of the city.

D'Hotel and Suites offers more than convenience and affordable luxury. This is definitely a striking improvement and service for the good people of Dipolog and the tourists as well. The hotel boasts of a modern furnish and located at the heart of the city. It is located at the corner of Rizal Ave. & Osmena Street in Dipolog. It also houses two japanese restaurants and a gift shop. You might be wondering why it is a 'hotel and suites'? I wondered the same thing. My friend tells me that the building houses condo units and hotel rooms. A condotel, to put it shortly. The great night view of the towering building is something to look forward. But that is not all even if you are just passing by. When you get on the 6th floor there's more to see and feel. More information about the hotel, you can check out their website here http://www.dhotelandsuites.com/ or call them at telephone number (065) 212-1256.

This hotel is towering in the night and day.
