That still asks, how to enforce. 802.1x can use MAC based authentication. That would require the customer to supply the MAC address before they can use it. But the whole point is moot since they don't really care who uses it, they just need/want to know how many are using.
Couldn't you just make some sort a educated "guessimate" on typical/average packets/room/day and then look at total number of packets for a given period? Alternately, you could conduct some sampling*, say 5-15% of the rooms over a week or two, then apply either a normal or student-T distribution curve to extrapolate to the total number of rooms.

* This would require some sort of go-between box or a user/password situation. You could sweeten the deal to get guests to comply: maybe a free movie?
