Do hotels really check how many kids you have?

[DT4K]

I'm looking at making reservations for Disneyland for 2 adults and 4 kids (aged 4 months to 9 years).

Some of the travel websites won't even let me do a search with more than 4 guests total.
Expedia lets me, but comes up with rates for "family suites" at a lot of the hotels that cost $100 a night and more.
A regular room with two double beds would be fine for us and if I put in 2 adults and 2 kids in my search, I can find places right next to disneyland for $50-$60 a night.

Do most hotels/motels really care or check to make sure I only have 2 kids?

Disney ? Yes
Hotels ? Probably not

Little kids are free. If they were teens, then the hotels would want more $$

Baby doesn't count as "people". Don't remember the cutoff age, 2? 4?

I've never had a hotel or a motel actually check. You get a room, say two people are sleeping in it, get your key, and bring back as many people as you like.

Expedia asks for the ages of each kid. They are <1, 4, 6, 9.
But I don't know how they figure which rooms you are eligible for.
It seems to vary by hotel because I did get a few listings come up that were for rooms with two double beds, but the hotels I really wanted (the ones right next to the Disneyland entrance) showed "exceeded max children" for their two double bed room rates.

Most don't care. Only place I know of where per person count is important is in LV at Mandalay Bay if you wish to swim. Everyone must show a key pass to get into the pool complex. Even kids. None of that, "I'm with them" kind of thing. No entry for that.
