We have installed several WiFi access points for local motels for them to give to their guests as a free service. With the advent of the iphone and ipads more and more people are streaming movies or trying to play mmorpgs, when this happens other people in the motel are unable to use the WiFi. How can I limit the bandwidth.

Without any details regarding the hardware / software that you are working with, it is difficult to give you an exact answer. In short, I would look for an option in the access point administration interface. BTW, I would be surprised if there wasn't one for this purpose.
you can use dd-wrt to limit the bandwidth. theres a vid on my website on how to do that;
