If the website raises the price when you add 2 kids, it means the hotel requires you to pay more to stay there with kids. If you find the hotel's rules "silly" stay somewhere else.
Fire regulations also come into play. Many properties are subject to laws governing how many people can stay in a room, and the laws usually don't differentiate between a 30 year old and 2 year old, both count as a person.
Thanks for the response. I figured as much.
Just sucks that rooms with kids are crazy expensive because you usually end up having to pay for a suite. I understand the reason, it just sucks for people like us. Fire code makes sense, though.
