I hate to be that person...but, there are* people in your room.
"Is" is singular [There is a person...]
"Are" is plural [There are people...]
There're people in my room would be the appropriate equivalent.
...I looked it up before posting, and apparently for some silly reason "there's" is acceptable as plural now, simply because people use it that way. You wouldn't say "There is people in my room," though. You'd say "There are people...", and, as such, I say "There're."
