I wonder how room cost is calculated?

Mihura:
Maybe the surface of the rooms form a part of the price too. Have you test without furniture just the expanse ? Arf, I hope you will be able to lower the price of your (nice) hotels Lewis. :)

ancienthighway:
Other amenities on the lot will play into the cost of the room too.  Beach lots are probably more expensive that regular lots. Swimming pools, saunas, etc all are most likely factored in.

fytj:
The price of your custom stuff might be cheaper but the fun, comfort and stuff tend to be quite high so maybe that also adds to the price.

I just finished rehabbing a motel with custom walls and furniture, even plumbing that's cheaper. It brought the total cost of the lot down by 30k simoleons. I am about to test it to see how much the rooms cost now. I was only able to access one of my cheaper custom beds through community buy/build mode, I guess because it's cloned from a maxis bed. It was only 100simoleons cheaper than the country beds from seasons.  I couldn't access the cheap maxis bed, because they are hacked for more comfort.  Oh well, I have a wish for somebody to mod, making residential items available in the community buy/build mode. At least all the beds.  Funny, I had a bed in one of the collections files, and was able to click on it and pick a design. When trying to place it, it disappeared. LOL! Should've figured that out since it was grayed out in the thumbnail. :D

Oh yeah, I couldn't change the lot zoning to residential either. I tried several ways, ie changing to community then change to residential, etc. No can do.  I have another idea of lodging, so I will try making it residential first then make it community and so on.

Changing the lot zoning IS possible, I've done it myself. But the thing is; after you've put in the cheat, you have to exit to neigbourhood view and then enter the lot again. The normal residential objects will then be available. Build your hotel as you like, change lot zoning to hotel and save. As soon as you exit and enter again, it will be a hotel!  ;)
