HH elite benefits only apply to the reserving guest who must occupy the booked room.
So strictly speaking additional guest being HHD when booking is non-elite gets nothing or room.
Further hotel has no way of knowing up front an HHD will occupy both rooms so hotel can not plan a room upgrade before arrival which most hotels do. As such the hotel whilst being able to give 2nd room as occupied by an HHD bennies may not have an upgrade left come checkin.
As such if an HHD/HHG occupying each of two booked rooms, it is in their interests to book seperately in own id up front, and not as 2-rooms booked by one elite.
