"Sir, this is your room. It's the most comfortable and luxurious chamber you'll find in the entire town, of course, except for the Lord Mayor's bedroom," The bartender, while making a humourless joke that wasn't funny at all, showed Ash his room. The room was on the second floor of the tavern.
This wasn't merely a simple room; it was a privilege. The second floor housed the tavern owner and his daughter, making it essentially their private residence. Granting access to this level signified the bartender's respect for Ash or his wealth.
