[John Wick] How public is the continental?

The continental hotel and their coins is obviously a huge worldwide system that has anything an assassin would want at any point. But after finishing John Wick 2
( I haven't seen the 3rd one yet) I'm questioning whether this is a secret organization. 

So 1st is the fact that at the end of the 2nd movie.
SPOILERS

Winston puts out a contract on John. But than compared to the earlier scene of a contract going out. Literally EVERYONE gets a text saying they have a chance to kill this man. Is this what the difference between an open and closed account was? Do people just know what the continental is and how to use it? 

If the continental is secret. How do they cover there tracks? They were able to fill an entire park with their members. But what if some normal chap tried to check into the continental, then when he tried to have a reservation for the restaurant there a bunch of things with cleaning supplies show up at his doorstep. Does nobody notice how many fuckin people just happen to use gold coins in this world rather than actual money?

No, the Continental is secret. At the end of 2 you have to remember that they stacked Central Park with people in the know so that they could clear it at a command. All the people that are receiving the text are the people in plain clothes disguised that were used to fill the park. 

Without spoiling anything in 3 it's clear that there are crowds of civilians that aren't in the know. Keep in mind when Wick is fighting Common in 2 they're trying to keep the fight a secret. If everyone knew about the Continental economy they wouldn't need to do this.
