Agreed as long as it's their usual practice to charge more for additional occupants. You could figure out whether or not that's likely going to happen by doing a couple dummy cash bookings - one for the suite with 2 occupants, one for the suite with 3 occupants - and then you'd be able to see if there's any price difference between the two.
