At the same time maybe Suh should have asked the host much sooner.

That's not her obligation. If the host agreed to a price then it's a contract unless it was agreed to under false pretenses.

Yer got a point there. Though honestly I am not sure how Airbnb hosts can enforce their guest limitation rules. Suh could very well have said nothing to Tami and the host would be none the wiser. When I booked a house via Airbnb in Las Vegas, the host was actually in Las Vegas so could check up on us.

My friends and I have booked two beds rooms before despite there being 5-6 of us. We just share the beds and sleep on the floor. I think in most cases motels/hotels will not allow that and if caught we might be forced out or forced to book another room.

Contracts work both ways. If you're found in violation by sneaking in extra guests then the proprietor can seek damages. And I think a host would absolutely have a case in assuming that posted rates are per person or maybe for a couple. Even if you never said you weren't bringing 5 people if they thought otherwise you'd be the one who had to prove why that seemed like a sensible number of people.

It's generally a harmless crime though. I had a friend sneak me into a hostel in Japan once. I showed up right near when their check-in was closing and they wouldn't rent me a bed because I didn't have a reservation. They had tons of open beds so my friend just brought me in and I bounced at like 6am.
