Is she afraid of imaginary things in her room? My son is afraid of the "football players and firemen" that are in his room at night. So every night I "spray" them away with a "magic spray" and then he goes to sleep just fine. Maybe get her a nightlight or a special doll to hold.

Does she give you a reason for not wanting to sleep in her bed? Is the guest room closer to your room? And if she is happy in the guest room, just let her sleep there till the novelty wears off.

first see if you can get her to tell you why she does not want to sleep in her bed
if there doesn't seem to be a valid reason but it has just become a bad habit, then provide no alternatives to her bed other than the floor of her room and DON'T make a big deal about this
tonight, just act as though of course she is going to sleep in her bed
if she says no, then you say - if you're not going to sleep in your bed, then the only other choice is the floor
if she says the guest room, you say - no, you can't sleep there
ditto for any other suggestions she makes
you insist - your bed or the floor?
you might want to check the mezuza of her room

Is the guest room mattress more comfortable than her mattress? Does she have a favorite blanket? Try not letting her take her favorite blanket or doll out of her own bed. she may also be scared of something in her own room and need reassurance that she is safe. sometimes a doll or stuffed teddy bear is a good babysitter.
good luck
