It was probably unintended, but wrong is too strong.

Arguably the English translation is slightly wrong, in that it's too
specific, but then the most likely connection of an event like that
with a room is that the event takes place in the room, so ...

Why do you think "fi'o (se) nenri" is better than "ne'i"?

But you can't have loose sumti inside a fi'o - fe'u

You want either: "la .alis cu sipna fi'o se nenri [fe'u] lo ri kumfa"
or "la .alis cu sipna fi'o nenri be lo ri kumfa [fe'u]"

And if you include [fe'u] and [ku] you should probably also include
[ge'u] and [vau] and [be'o], so:

la.alis. cu sipna fi'o nenri be lo kumfa pe ri [ge'u] [ku] [be'o] [fe'u] [vau]
