I worked for a small startup where we shared rooms. That was OK because we all knew we were running on a shoestring and the money spent on another hotel room was money we could use to pay salaries! I have also shared rooms a few times over the years for a variety of reasons but it was never company policy. I don't mind it if there is good reason but not as a general policy.
