  You need to state which Story Format (name and version) you are using when you ask a question, as answers can be different for each one. I am going to assume you are using SugarCube 1.x
  
  I am also assuming your $room variable is defined something like:

  <<set $room to {last: ""}>>
  

  Try using the following:

  <<if ! tags(previous()).contains("inv")>>
  	<<set $room.last to previous()>>
  <<endif>>

  Virtually everything, within the conditional anyway. It should be something like the following:

  <<if not tags(previous()).contains("inv")>>
  <<set $room.last to previous()>>
  <</if>>
  

  
  Alternatively, and assuming that this is to allow you to return to the last passage not tagged with inv—for a nested/multi-passage inventory or something to that effect—an equivalent method would be to set $room.last to passage() unless the current passage's tags contains inv. For example:

  <<if not tags().contains("inv")>>
  <<set $room.last to passage()>>
  <</if>>
