I'm not sure where you're getting this "extra person fee" thing.
OT but I remember a time when IIRC Hilton had a policy that one guest sharing a room with an elite or HHonors participant would be free. They advertised it as a benefit to take one's wife along on business trips, but it could also be interpreted as a rule that they don't charge extra for hookers, even if the prostitute or call girl stays for the night.
I'd have no problem with resort fees that show as a separate amount under the room rate when one does a first. In fact, this would be better since resort fees don't earn points but often are emempt from taxes.
