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.

The hostess Vivian is just the sweetest. She fawns over you always wanting to help. The area is residential and quiet. The room is clean and spacious. The breakfast is good. A great value for the money! David from California
