Downtown, it's not even accurate enough to locate a block.

Is indoor GPS even accurate enough to locate a person?

If I'm reading some other things I found right, the City of Chicago code that 
has been in place for 2 years requires the panic button to have GPS, and be 
able to update it's exact location in real time once activated.

If I read it right, an on person dongle is sufficient

I installed a panic button system for a contractor with several panic buttons 
in key locations near surveillance camera monitors covering all doors, parking 
lots and hall ways ..all of the management staff have small remotes they can 
use to trigger alarm and 100dB klaxon ...we test it every two months...all 
UHF... 
The controller can be wired and used for a lot more applications. 
I don't think I would trust WiFi based system...but I am open to learning about 
them.

We're in Illinois, and provide Internet/WIFI to a hotel. We're being 
told by the hotel owner that there is a new regulation (we don't know if 
it's state or federal) that there needs to be a panic button in every room. 

The guy selling them the system says that it is all WIFI based. 1 
device per room 

It is supposedly only for staff use 

So they're wanting to add a mess of devices to the WIFI in the hotel. 
Not really a big deal, there's more than enough capacity. 

But A number of things are not making sense with this: 

Why would a Panic button be WIFI based and not 400khz to a local receiver? 

If it's only for staff, why is there a need for one in each room and not 
just a panic button carried on their person? 

I know others on this list service/manage hotels. Have you heard 
anything about this?
