You could do it from your workstation as long as you plug in your computer into a port on your switch that is a monitor port. That is, a port that can see all traffic. Then look at projects like snort or ipband on freshmeat.net
Assigning each tenant a username/password is not a practical solution since each one will be there for only a few days. The best way would be to check and see if your switch has snmp/logging statistics available. Then you'll get per port usage instead of per ip. However per ip will probably be good enough. It won't tell you which room, but it will tell you a fairly accurate number of users.
