Not really. I think the hotel manager would have to be stinking mad to accept to
have 8-way machines running in the rooms free of extra charge, no matter how
much the rooms cost. I can just see it: Rooms cost $200/day but the electrical
bills (not charged separately) run to $300/day. Furthermore, nearby suites
complain about the constant airport activity keeping them up at night, not
knowing it has something to do with their high-tech neighbour. :-)
