I think in your table
CREATE TABLE ROOMS_TO_CLEAN (

  BUILDING_ID  NUMBER NOT NULL,
  FLOOR_ID     NUMBER NOT NULL,
  ROOM_ID      NUMBER NOT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY (BUILDING_ID, FLOOR_ID, ROOM_ID) );
need a date column.If date column is present then

 INSERT ROOMS_TO_CLEAN(BUILDING_ID, FLOOR_ID, ROOM_ID) SELECT m.BUILDING_ID, m.FLOOR_ID, m.ROOM_ID

    FROM PartyLocations m
   WHERE m.PartyDate = '2005-02-14'
minus
SELECT n.BUILDING_ID , n.FLOOR_ID, n.ROOM_ID

    FROM ROOMS_TO_CLEAN n
   WHERE n.<DateField> = '2005-02-14'
