If you see non-room resources present in the list of rooms and resources, this is because their Gsuite category is set to Category unknown or Conference room rather than Other, which is how they should be configured. You can exclude them from the list by changing their category to Other.

Here's what the Category picker looks like:

Setting up Rooms and Resources

You can add your shared rooms and resources to your Calendars, availability shares, and event invites. You can specify the room you want or pick any available option to let Mixmax automatically choose an available room for you.

If the room you selected is no longer available or if there are no available rooms, no need to worry; your recipient will still be able to book a meeting with you.

Your G-Suite admin can add calendar resources and rooms from the G-Suite admin console. For more details, see the calendar resources Google help article.

Shared rooms and resources are only available if you got your Google Account through your work, school, or other group.

Calendars

To add a Room or resource to your Calendars, head over to your Calendars dashboard, select the Calendar to which you would like to add a room or resource, and then use the Room and resources drop-down menu to select the room you want to add.
