If you declared a form with object like 

<%= form_for(@room, html: {role: "form"}) do |f| %>

here f is a form object then input field with value will look like this

<%= f.hidden_field :room_name, value: @room.name %>

the output HTML is something like this

<input value="Room Name" type="hidden" name="room[room_name]" id="room_room_name">

If your form declared without object then it will be

<%= hidden_field_tag :room_name, value: @room.name %>

Hope it will help other SO user in the future.
