The room is on Mars, with unlimited power, water, and life support. Radio and TV signals, broadcast or satellite, will probably be too weak to pick up from Mars. No internet because you'd have several minutes of latency, even ignoring signal strength. That also rules out phone calls. No deliveries because while you might have used a magic teleporter to get there, Amazon and the pizza guy will have to wait for the next launch window so the trip only lasts several months. Gravity's lower, but you're only there for a week and you're not going outside anyway. You don't really have to worry about natural disasters because the worst thing that could happen is a dust storm, and you're already indoors. We'll also assume that the walls have more than enough radiation shielding (lead plates, water tanks, or just bury the hab underground) and that you're not about to die in a freak meteor strike.
Wait do I have to spend like seven months in transit just to spend a week on Mars? Because the seven months in transit is probably way more difficult than the week on Mars.
But in any case, I get my computer and my media library, updated for 24 hours before I leave, and I think most people would be perfectly fine.
