We really like AirServer here. It's cheap, and it supports AirPlay, Miracast (Windows), and Chromecast (ChromeOS/Android) in one package. It's gotten a lot better over the years at the video hand-off/YouTube issues, though I do still see some occasional sync issues between the audio portion of video content and recommend if showing a video is the main thing you want to do, just use the PC in the room.
The real downside to AirServer is the you need hardware to run it on. If you have a computer already in the room, you're done, and the cost per room is only about $10. If you don't already have hardware, you need a computer to pair with it. They sell a tiny pre-built unit for $400. The system requirement are very small, so you could build one yourself for the $200 price point if you're willing to shop around. There's also an XBox One version, which does meet your price point if you're willing to go that route. And, of course, with *all* AirPlay/Chromecast solutions you need to consider the network discovery questions. But that shouldn't be news to anyone here.
