Correct. Most often in the US the quote is for the room. You can put in one person, two or three people and the room rate will usually be the same. A king sized room will cost $100, it doesn't matter whether you have one person or two. Obviously if there are extras included then the rate may increase, ie, breakfast, dinner, spa credit.

So if you book a "double room rate only" in the US it usually means a room with two doubles beds that can accommodate 4 people. The price will probably be the same for one person or 4 people. There are exceptions but, overall, this has been how it has worked here.
