That's a great way to reduce paper for reports. It does sound like an expensive alternative. Surely you're right in thinking that you could find used older models for considerably less that $800 though.
Costs aside, are you concerned at all that your staff would get distracted with the other features of the tablet (internet access, email, facebook, games, etc.) and reduce their productivity?
As you mentioned, tablets could be particularly helpful for housekeeping reports. Plus, as they make beds and clean rooms the housekeepers could send a real-time update to the Reception team in order to send guests to their rooms as soon as they are ready. It would also be an easy way to report and record any maintenance issues that need to be addressed as soon as they find them.
