Does anyone know if major US Hotel chains (e.g. Radisson) charge the same for 1 Adults vs 2 Adults in a room?
My wife is going on a business trip and she asked me to come along. Her employer booked the room as "1 adult" and they are paying for it. If we get there and tell them we're 2 instead of 1 adult, will they add like 10 bucks to the price? Shouldn't be a big deal, just want to know ahead of time.

In the USA it's pretty rare these days for there to be a difference. (seems to pop up more in some parts of Europe, and in other places where a single room means it's a discounted rate because the bed is twin-sized) You might run into an extra charge if you're talking a resort hotel that likes to figure out how to extract many fees on top of room rate, or if her employer booked her a breakfast included rate at a full service hotel, but those are low probability events.
No reason not to go to the hotel's web site, search for a couple of rooms and see if anything changes when you go from one to two adults. Or just call the hotel front desk and ask.
Its the same. The only difference is 1 king or 2 queens. Europe? A whole different ball game.
In Europe, most of the King beds are actually two twins putting together, which can be separate if one wants. It has enough cushion on top so you don't feel the gap in between. I think that's nice.
In fact, as a frequent solo traveler, I don't like the typical double occupancy standard in America. In Europe (and Japan), there are many hotel rooms that are specifically design for a single person, which is more cost effective. I don't want to have a room with two beds. Feels like a waste.
Prices in the US are almost ALWAYS based on double occupancy. So one or two adults doesn't matter. At most major chains selecting 1 or 2 adults won't have any effect on your room type (2 double/queens or 1 king) unless you are specifically reserving one type or the other. I almost always just leave it at 1 even if my girlfriend and I are traveling together. You'll start to get charged extra for more than 2 adults.
Many places elsewhere in the world are different. Especially Asia where you'll often pay per person (a "single" room is one twin bed and a "double" can be 2 twin beds).
In China hotels charge per person but in the USA it seems usually that the charge is per room rather than per person.
No, Chinese hotels don't charge per person.
The only country that does is Japan, as far as I know.
