I don't know what I should try first, but if you want my guessed opinion, it is about seating and seating for 100people, and if the combination is valid, then 'a room sick people', 'a souce beef' sould work too, instead of 'a sick people room' or 'a beef souce'.

Try to find the main noun. What's the one word this phrase is about?

Yes, that's true. So, that should help you identify adjectives.

onizoand if the combination is valid, then 'a room sick people', 'sauce beef' should work too, instead of 'a sick people room' or 'a beef sauce'.

"Sauce beef" could theoretically work! It would mean beef used to make sauce.
"A room sick people" doesn't work because the original should be hyphenated as "a sick-people room."
