Depends on the administration and whether they are sensitive to the public’s awareness of their spending.
With my hotel, many staff, military and secret service paired up but senior staff and strategic staff roomed alone when Clinton visited. Communications paired up. Many in the party were given hotel employee passes to eat in the cafeteria. Most big city first class hotels have large cafeterias accustomed to feeding hundreds of staff if not thousands daily anyway so the extra heads weren’t a problem but was some drain on hotel costs. Hotels often throw in snacks gratis in the down rooms to make police and fire people happy. Clinton’s travel group were not allowed in room movies. Movies were disabled in those rooms. Any room service was cash basis for all but authorized staff. Secret Service and Military communications never took advantage or tried anything in my years at the hotel. Some staff and hangers-on often tried to take advantage of having their personal charges billed to the white house master acct. and skirt official procedures. Some city and state political types also tried to skirt around rules of billing and some press types, not on official press list, tried to tie themselves to the official press group. Hotel staff really had to be on their toes during these visits.
