Feedback on my recent stay at Hidden inn B&B
I feel compelled to share my experience at the Hidden Inn, as it was quite the unexpected adventure.
First and foremost, the pricing is incredibly reasonable, and the reception staff exude warmth in a tranquil setting. However, if you're planning a visit with family or anyone under 18, I would strongly advise against it! The walls seem to have ears—or rather, they amplify the sounds of intimacy from neighboring rooms, which was quite jarring for me.
Before I could voice my concerns, my cousin popped by to say hello, and to my surprise, I was met with a loud knock on the door from the receptionist or perhaps the owner, sternly informing me that visitors were not allowed. This was particularly perplexing, considering I had booked for two adults!
I recalled a phone call I had received earlier, where I was asked whether I preferred two small beds or one large bed, and I had opted for the latter.
It dawned on me that this establishment seems to cater primarily to escorts seeking short-term stays.
Ultimately, I made the decision to check out early, forfeiting some of my money in the process.
I had been swayed by the glowing reviews prior to my booking, but what I encountered was far from satisfactory.

I would like to express my dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel. Unfortunately, I encountered several issues that significantly impacted my experience: The room had a smell of moisture and dampness, which was quite uncomfortable. The mattress was in poor condition, with the wires being felt through the surface, making it difficult to sleep. The shower was inconvenient to use. The noise from the adjacent room was very disruptive, including hearing the snoring of the guest next door.
