The best way is probably to use userdata, as you suggest. If you can process the rooms in any order, you might have the states loop back to a single, starting, decision state that uses the accumulated info in userdata to decide what transition to perform. (Though this might be more easily modeled using a different paradigm like behavior trees.)
