As long as I can bind more than one device in my room, and as long as I can "see" the devices amongst themselves, I'd love this. I can imagine people who want inter-room access but they can live through proxies offsite. If I want to do in room sharing, I need in room wifi.

Gets hard when you bring "smart" TV's to the table. They're going to need to expose into this system somewhat 'credential-free' but if you do it off MAC address then a determined user could disconnect, find MAC, clone ...

It would still be wiser to tie your own router into the hotel system as a gateway, and keep your own PAN behind that.
Yes we allow in room multiple devices and casting to the room TV. The TVs exist in each rooms separate VLAN.

Inter room communication between group bookings is in the works but it’s complex to say the least.

I stayed at a clinic once, and all the smart TVs were on the same network.. I wonder what would've happened if I streamed a video from my phone to another room's TV.
