And I have many, many times challenged people to post links to said fire codes but no one has been able to so far.
You're asking for very specific technical information. Have you ever asked an architect or fire marshal? Or, done what I suggested and called the fire department yourself?
Think about it this way: Could a lay person provide the specific technical requirements regarding automatic sprinkler systems? Or, technical specs of the air bags in your car? Of course, not. But, that doesn't mean those things don't exist.
Sometimes, if you want technical information, you have to ask an expert. If you're unwilling to do that, you have a choice to either trust in the system or believe there is a massive, global conspiracy perpetrated by thousands of individual hotels working in collusion to force you to rent a second room.
