        $this->db->from("b_room_type");
        $this->db->where("hotel_id",$hotel_det[0]['hotel_id']);
        $room_types=$this->db->get()->result_array();
        ?>
    <td><select name="toom_typ" class="">
    <option value="">Select</option>
    <?php foreach($room_types as $rooms)
        {?>
    <option value="<?php echo $rooms['room_type_id']?>"><?php echo $rooms['room_type_name']?></option>
    <?php }?>

I think it's happen because you are put the <form> tag inside the table.Try to put the <form> tag outside the table. And one more think, you are using hyphen (-) in the fields name which is causing problem remove it and you can use underscore (_) sign instead of hyphen (-).
