Tell me you've never read the books...

Rivendell isn't a rotating door of hosting guests. They can go literal decades without anyone new showing up. The brief window of months before the Council of Elrond is a literal anomaly based on a bunch of random prophecies and escalation of Sauron's plans coalescing simultaneuosly; most of the time Rivendell is as Frodo describes, a place where you can forget the passage of time entirely as the residents just don't care whether you live there or not. They don't have celebratory banquets every night. Fans desire to visit Rivendell because it's all the benefit of visiting a friend, none of the drawbacks of being in hotel services.

Thanks for explaining what I wanted to say in much better words, nonny. It got the name "Last Homily House" not because it was welcoming guests all the time but because it was the last elven city/settlement before the place where they could take the ships and return to Valinor. So it was a place that elves from all over could come on their journey towards the ships. That doesn't mean it had guests all the time.
