Will I pay additional guest fees if I have an overnight guest in Massachusetts?
I have a short 48 hour hotel stay in Massachusetts. My girlfriend already lives there, and wants to spend the night with me in the hotel.
After scouring the Web, as well as these questions

Can I have an unregistered guest come over at a hotel?
I have found many general answers that basically amount to "it depends." Obviously, though I can't seem to find anything concrete.
Having stayed in many hotels in the area, I only ever saw them ask for a CC and ID for the person paying. I don't get the impression that they would even care, and the hotel policies make no mention of additional guest fees.
In Massachusetts, USA, will there be any issues if I simply bring my girlfriend up to the room? Do I have to tell the front desk? Both of us are very private people and would rather not go through that rigmarole.

Just ask for a second key at check-in. It will likely be provided without further ado. (It has been for me, with neither spouse nor child in evidence.) There are hotels that have kickback arrangements with women who "stay" there on a regular basis, but for genuine guests, there should not be a problem.

Additional person fee. Hotel room rates are based on double occupancy. You usually don't have to pay extra for kids in the room. But hotels often charge $20 to $50 per additional adult per night, Banas says.Can guest stay overnight in hotel?
No Sir, Visitors are not allowed to stay overnight. This applies to every hotel. A maximum of 3 people can stay in one room and all their names and identifications should be with the hotel at the time of check in. This is for security purposes and is a government rule.Can you bring extra guest to hotel?
No - you cannot do it; if found, they can choose to kick you out and at the very least tell you to either book another room if it is available, or the extra person will have to leave. Hotel staff keep a very sharp eye for just this sort of situation - they know who is supposed to be in the room and who isn't.What is an extra guest fee?

Answer 2
Anywhere I stayed in the US I have not found any rules prohibiting additional guests or requiring to pay extra fees if a guest is present overnight unless a hotel has to provide an additional bed or an additional key.
That being said, once you get to the hotel you can do one of 2 things:
- Ask the front desk if it would be an issue if someone else stay with you.
or
- There is usually a book (more like a binder) that is place either by the phone or on a desk that in addition to all the useful information about all sorts of things provide restrictions placed on guests, while using the hotel room. If you find anything specific to another guest joining you in a room those rules will apply.
Otherwise, enjoy your stay.
