Do hotels limit how many people per room?

In the US, it's quite common that hotels allow up to 4 people in a room, though some may limit it to two adults. On the other hand, some hotels (though somewhat rare) charge an additional fee beyond even the first person. In the Middle East and Europe, it's not uncommon to be charged beyond the third occupant.
