Is it alright to keep a cat to one floor of a house?

My cat has escaped the house far too many times, and tonight my Dad got tired of it. He and his girlfriend helped me find him (after nearly an hour and a half of searching) and said he would not do that again. This time, I agree. Ultimately, it's my pet, my responsibility. He shouldn't have had to do that.

He has on multiple occasions told me that I should just keep him upstairs, where our rooms are in the house. He can only be downstairs (where he likes to hang out, but also is perfectly suited for him to escape, since I hang out in my room a lot) if I am downstairs too.

My question, is it okay for that? The upstairs area has a bathroom, my room, and a small-ish landing with some space for him to roam. My Dad's room is also here, but lately he's gotten annoyed with my cat, since he's become a bit of a handful and my Dad just won't deal with him anymore.

I may also have to resort back to locking him up in my room while I and my Dad is at work. Only issue, is that once my Dad gets home, I don't know if he will let him out of my room anymore, since I can't trust my Dad to put up the gate that keeps my cat from going downstairs when he isn't allowed.
