Anyone sleep like a king?

When I rent a room at an inn I always rent the peasant room. Does anyone ever rent the more expensive rooms? If so, for what reason?

As for reason well,
Price for the different rooms are laughable, even a peasant could afford the best rooms.
The regen bonus from the better rooms are also quite minor.
So it's more of a RP reason then anything else.
I think you're overestimating the affluence of the peasantry. Most things the peasantry would buy like food, ale, and tools, are bought with silver and copper, not gold. 8 or 10 gold would be a big chunk out of whatever they typically make in a season.
So a Royal Room of 30gp would be half the family's yearly wealth and probably won't fit the entire family. And it's for one night.
On topic:
Naturally, I always go for Royal when available. Whoever my main character is, spoiled snob is always part of the character description.
Because I can!
I wish I could find money so easy on the street in RL, just like in the games.
Not so much in the CRPG though. As Kirkor mentioned you can find 10g in a barrel, sure there is no banks so someone could have stashed it. Xvarts often run around with 5-15g, etc.
Lets take a look at the farmer in the most northern area, he pays you 150g to kill a few zombies, that would be 3 years of savings.
If we look at the Ankheg Farm, Farmer Brun pays us 2 years (100g, maybe it's 3-4 for him considering his farm is kinda ruined) of savings. The fishermen in the same area gives you a flail +1 if you "resolve" their grudge with the priest, last time I sold a flail +1 I got 1000g (16cha ~15rep) that is about 20 years!! of income (6-7 years if divided by them 3).
All drinks at the inns cost AT LEAST as much as a peasant room.
The economy in the CRPG is totally off the charts and would require an entire overhaul if it should be brought to some kind logic and realism.
In the CPRG every peasant can afford the best rooms when they need to spend a night at the inn.
Back when the game first came out, it was peasant rooms all the way, resting and re-casting until I was fully healed. Now I care much more about how much time has elapsed, and taking a week long vacation at an inn is immersion breaking.

As for my characters; whenever I play an ranger, barbarian, druid or cleric of nature/elemental deites (especially Grumbar), I prohibit myself to rest at any inns through the whole playthrough. Camping is more fun anyway.
Away with you and your peasant rooms, beggar!
I imagine she also forces everyone else to have a bath. Nothing worse to follow up a nice relaxing inn stay than hitting the road with smelly travelling companions
