Morphology
The meaning 'amount charged per night for staying in a hotel room' is directly derivable from combining 'room' (a hotel accommodation/space) with 'rate' (a price or charge). This noun+noun compounding to indicate the price of the head noun is compositional and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Room rate comes from the simple image of a price tag on a hotel room. The word room is the place you sleep and rate is the set price, so room rate means 'the amount charged per night'.
