Butuan City: Dottie's Place Hotel

The landing of Philippine Airlines plane at Bancasi Airport in Butuan was the roughest Tutubi has had possibly due to the short runway of the airport. The plane feltlike it slammed on the runway as if it skidded before taxying to the terminal. This flight was due to Tutubi's "exile" for a few days in the historic city of Butuan in Agusan del Norte, Mindanao for a work errand and seminar. He was booked for few nights stay at Dottie's Place.

Traveled alone in this city ahead of all his officemates, checked in at Dottie's Place along Butuan's main artery,Jose C. Aquino Avenue, which would be his home for a few days loaded with official things to do but managed to squeeze sometime to wander around.

Tutubi's twin sharing room for he's expecting a companion the following night.
Dottie's Place's swimming pool is said to be the largest in Butuan according to his officemate who surveyed tghe area

Review and Comments: Dottie's Place is a nice, cheap hotel in the city with nice facilities for the price though there are cheaper accommodations available. The only problem he's had in this hotel was that on his first night, he received a call apparently from the hotel staff asking him if he ordered a massage. He later found out what the girl meant was if he wanted some "company" for the night. The security guard, unknown to the hotel management, is letting the pimp to do her job under his watch.

In later posts, Tutubi will take you on another journey in history as he explores the city of the balangay, the boat of ancient Butuanons and from where the barangay, the smallest unit of government in the Philippines, was named after.

Agusan del Norte; the name reminds me of Surigao del Norte which I've been wanting to visit. Read that it was the surfing capital. Have you been there before?

(:

It's such a shame that our airport is like that considering that it underwent rehabilation.

I'm just kind of surprised with Dottie's. I didn't know that they also have that kind of "business." I thought it only exists in some other hotels. Tsk. Tsk.

hello everyone!

butuan city is a very nice place to visit, plus there's a lot of history in it.

dottie's place is a nice place to stay while you're in there, last i check their basic rates are just about 1T a night. Another good places to stay are Almont Hotel and the Almont Inland Hotel.

don;t worry about the airport, its up for improvement soon, they're making it an international class airport. :)

this makes me want to make a full promotion material for butuan city! hehehe

Every ...and I mean every time my fiancée and I have stayed there for the past 2 years (like 7 different times for more than a months worth of days) we have had great service and a relaxing stay. About the whole escort thing...I am not saying that it is not possible, but we never have even had the remotest notion that that was going on. So I find it really hard to believe. It sounds more like an isolated thing that someone is spreading around to make it sound worse than it was. Or just a horny dude wishing aloud.

Rich, the guard is in connivance with the pimp in that place. They won't call or knock on your door so sell their "wares" simply because you have your fiance with you. They know who's alone in their room. It happened to me and to my officemate, it's not hearsay, and definitely not a "horny dude wishing aloud."
