[AccessD] Differentiating between different data groups within a sub-form

If the room numbers are consecutive, you could do it with conditional formatting.
Set the background colour based on the condition 
RoomNum =  Int([RoomNum]/2)*2

That way, you will colour odd and even numbered rooms differently, Of course if rooms are 
missing and you get consecutive odd or even rooms, this won't give you a visual break.
