Hotel Riviera Shishikui

25/4/2019 Although I had not booked ahead, I arrived at a sensible time in the afternoon, expecting that walk in accommodation would be available at this large hotel. The Riviera Hotel had a enough spare rooms to accommodate me.

From my third floor balcony in the hotel I had a great view of the sea and could watch the incongruous sight of Ohenro resting on the beach with surfers riding the waves beyond the concrete breakwaters. The room was modern(ish) and clean as would be expected from any large hotel.

I did not get an evening meal at the Hotel, but I did get breakfast the next day. To confirm my thoughts that there weren't many people in the hotel, when I went for breakfast at 8:00 only a single group of four were sitting at one table before me. The whole rest of the breakfast area was completely empty and nobody else came in till the time I left at about half an hour later.

The hotel did have an onsen and rest area (vending machines and massage chairs). The onsen was open to non hotel users at a cost. I did not use the onsen as I used the bathroom in my room, but I spoke to two lady henro from another hotel who did. They seemed happy with it.
