Booked for 2 Adults / 1 Child

Booking directly on the hotels web site for the same stay was $85.48 including tax and fees

Noted if I had booked for 2 Adults only, the price is also $37 (99.99% sure it was the same hotel)

Used the HOTWIRE link to book. I do not believe this hotel is in the hotwire hotel list.

While checking in I was advised that there was a $5 surcharge due to staying only one night. (never have come across this before)

Didn't argue with the front desk as it was 1am in the morning when I arrived.

The Breakfast more then made up for the extra amount. (the kids will love the breakfast room)

I've never heard of that, either, but glad you still had a good stay.

I would have told them that i wasn't staying any nites since it was already check-out day :)

I would call the hotel, speak to the manger, and ask if this is policy as i wouldn't be surprised if it was a nite clerk adding $5 to his hourly wage (not accusing, but it wouldn't surprise me)... and if it is policy, i would contact HOTWIRE and let them know about it. If this was a 'resort' fee it would be a different story (not that i'm a fan of those either), but a one nite surchage should already be included in your HOTWIRE purchase, imo.

If you do pursue either of the above let us know the results.
