You sort-of-can control the range.
In the case of a hotel - a wifi AP per room, with very low power, and another box - also set to very low power to do deauthentication attacks on the client in that room.
Each rooms 'jammer' is only active when a strong local signal tries to access the outside AP - and only has enough power to jam that room.

It would not affect people outside the hotel more than marginally - as the 'jammer' would not be recievable by them due to its low power.

No, a simple per-hotel jammer can't do this, and the above is much more expensive than such a thing.

Grazing the atmosphere has issues.
The heating pulse is quite large, and radiating it to cool down again before the next encounter may be an issue.
Plus, it places strong demands on the attitude control, and heats the tanks a lot when they're still full of volatile fuel.
'Just' reentering normally from what will be at least LEO takes quite a lot of heatshield or reaction mass.
