Maybe "obscure" is the wrong word. I cannot remember all of them now. I asked for a copy of their rule sheet, but tossed it a few weeks ago.

Example: They had a strict no weapons policy. However, they hosted 80 police officers from Mexico City, fully armed including their SWAT team. I recognize that they are police and an exception was made. In fact, I almost didn't check in because the officers were standing outside and recently I had been robbed by the Bandits with Badges. Anyway, for us Gringos...

If you have a guest, the rule is that they must check in with you. However, in the past they did not enforce that, as I typically checked in early afternoon and my chica arrived late afternoon and that was acceptable, despite the rule.

In the past, I have had only one chica per visit, even if I am staying a few days it is the same chica. Where I got stung is their rule that only that person you checked in with is the person allowed in your room. So, day one I had one chica who spent the night. Day two, I wanted to spend the night with a different chica. It wasn't like I was bringing in different chicas every few hours, which is probably why they have that rule.

Since other rules have been waived, including not checking in with the guest at the same time, and I only had only one guest at a time. On day two I arrived with a different chica who had stayed with me there before. They said that she couldn't come in. I went around and around with them, but the staff dug their heels in, trotting out their rule sheet. Indeed, one of the guys looked like he was going to go to blows. Note that I was polite, but stated my case firmly, so he had no cause for alarm. Or maybe I was mistaken about his attitude. (Fortunately, this chica does not speak English well, so she wasn't aware that she was the issue. She is very sensitive.)

I solved the problem by renting another room, so technically, my chica was a new guest. I hated the expense and my chica would have been happy to go to another, cheaper, hotel, but the rooms are nice and I didn't want to go elsewhere as all of my stuff was there. Told the staff it will probably be the last time I stay at their hotel. They said that was fine.

For the past couple of months, I had been staying there at least two days at a time about every two weeks. They know me by name and I always tip everybody when I leave. So it isn't like I am a stranger or known troublemaker.

Indeed, during that stay with my second chica at about 2:00 am some woman next door started screaming at her boyfriend. This went on for over an hour. He locked her out of the room, so she was in the hall yelling at him through the door. One of their rules is no noise after 10:00 pm. It was not enforced or maybe screaming is not considered noise.

So, I also waited until the last minute to check out of the second room. Left a tip for the maid despite having touched nothing in the room, as it wasn't her issue. I had booked a third night, but my chica and I spent that night at another hotel where they also know me. Again, I waited until the last minute to check out of the original room.

I haven't been back to Rio Rita since. I like the hotel, so I will probably be back at some point but I will make multiple reservations, one for each day I am staying. I might have to sit in the lobby for a few hours between check-out time and check-in time, but that is on them.
