When I stayed at the hotel last year they had an extra charge for the second person in the room (which is very common in Europe). Although I had the largest room, I was charged as a single because the UIG was not with me. If she had come with me there would have been a very hefty additional cost.
Most of the reservations that people have been citing here have been for two people in the room. I hope that is the case for you.
Expedia is now asking $135 per night both for single and double occupancy. If you plan to share the room I suggest you call them and verify that your reservation was for two people. Otherwise, when you get there, you might find yourself charged a lot more for the second person.
