My experience with treasure rooms has been mixed.  Rings of stealth
are very nice to have on the lower levels for use in treasure rooms,
as are scrolls of hold monster.

Next to the ones on levels 20 and below (where the result for me has
always involved a fatal confrontation with some permutation of purple
worms, dragons, and vampires) I think the worst ones to encounter are
those on level 12.  You've gotten there and are breathing fairly easy
before gathering the guts to mix it up with the trolls on 13, so you
get a bit complacent.  Then you walk into a treasure room and you
are promptly introduced to your maker at the behest of two or three
damn trolls.
