The rules can be very different when it’s for reward nights.
I have had Intercontinental Hotel Goup and Starwood Group stays in Japan on awards where it made no difference whether 2 or 1 adult occupied the room, but where a second adult fee would have been payable had the same room been booked with cash only.
No idea about Choice Hotels though. I see OP has posted in the Choice forum

Seems like the best place for this kind points program specific question.
