"You conjure a two-story tower made of stone, wood, or similar suitably sturdy materials
Each level of the tower is 10 feet tall and has an area of up to 100 square feet. Access between levels consists of a simple ladder and hatch. Each level takes one of the following forms, chosen by you when you cast the spell:"
So, l just want to clarify something. When it says "2 Story tower" Does that include the ground floor? Like, is it Ground/enterance-1s-2s-Roof, or G/E-2s-R?
Since WotC is a US company with mostly US writers, I'd think that option 2 was likely intended, since "ground floor" as separate from the first floor isn't a normal concept here.
Strictly speaking neither option is correct but 2 is closest, as floors and storeys are not the same thing; a storey is a level of a building, a floor is the surface that may be at the bottom of a storey (or dividing them).
So in the US it's 1st floor, 2nd floor, roof. In the UK it'd be ground, 1st floor, roof. In both it's 1st storey, 2nd storey, roof. Either way you functionally get two rooms stacked on top of each other, then a roof on top of that.

Well, you have to be able to enter or exit somehow, so I'm guessing the door wasn't mentioned because it's something that would obviously be there. And i'm guessing windows are a "If the caster want them" (or if the DM allows)

I Looked up "Story" in terms of Buildings, and found this that said "‘Storey’ tends to exclude building levels that are not covered by a roof, such as a roof terrace. It is also not used to refer to the street level floor which is typically called the ‘ground floor’."
I want to be sure before the character who wants this spell reaches 5th level.
To Recap My question, is the correct answer
Option 1: 2 storys= Ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor, roof?
Option 2: 2 storys= Ground floor, 2nd floor, Roof?
Option 3: Other?
(I think it might be option 2, but l want to be sure)

Thought so, just wanted to be sure, Thanks!
There are two floors (storeys).
You can move between the two floors using the ladder and hatch.
The spell does not provide access to a roof from inside the tower.
Actually there is no mention of whether there are any doors leading outside of the tower, or of the presence of any windows on either of the floors.
Well, you have to be able to enter or exit somehow, so I'm guessing the door wasn't mentioned because it's something that would obviously be there. And i'm guessing windows are a "If the caster want them" (or if the DM allows)
