Both are fine. It just depends what the speaker wants to convey.

When someone says to a potential guest, for example, a relative who may be staying in their home, they would normally use the singular, room with "plenty of".
We have plenty of room. Bring the kids.
It means "We have beds, cots, sofa-bed, carpeted floor and sleeping bags, whatever--enough to accommodate you."
The plural, "plenty of rooms", is normally used of commercial establishments like hotels, motels, inns, bed-and-breakfasts:
In the off-season we have plenty of rooms available.
