The ones you see mounted on hotel walls are only single room units, I don't think you can find one that will do an entire home. Plus they still need to be vented to the outdoors so you would have to run some venting I believe to deal with that.

We live in a condo too and our board also does not allow the type that hangs out your window. So we bought an in room one that actually very effective. It was only around $200 if memory serves. They need to be near a window or cold air return as their is a tube that comes out the back (basically a clothes dryer vent tube) that connects to a plastic bar that you fit into your window or stuff down the cold air return. It sits on 4 caster wheels and is very portable so all we do it wheel it out when the weather no longer requires it and leave it in another room. The one we have is kind of on the larger size (we named it R2D2 as it basically the same size) but they may make them smaller now.

Our condo is a 4 level so the top floor gets SMOKING hot in the summer, even if it's only mid 20's outside and this AC unit has been very effective in cooling off our bedroom at night. Glorious to have. Doesn't really hammer the power bill to badly either.
