How can one determine for legacy data if a returned item is a meeting room?

The calendar resource documentation says that a resourceCategory will be set to "CATEGORY_UNKNOWN" for legacy data. This means the typical check of resourceCategory == "CONFERENCE_ROOM" to determine if a resource is a conference room will not work for legacy data.

One thing I've noticed in my own organization is that resourceType == "Conference room" for legacy data.

Is the resourceType a reliable source to determine if a resource is a room? In other words, is the "Conference room" I'm seeing in the resourceType field a choice Google provides, or is it customizable by the user?

If resourceType isn't the right field to look at, is there another way to reliably determine if legacy data is in fact a meeting room?

Thanks!

[resourceType](https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/reference/resources/calendars) is "writable" so that means you can specify it when making POST/PUT/write requests. – ReyAnthonyRenacia Jun 22 '18 at 08:37
Good point, so `resourceType` isn't reliable. Do you know of a way to determine if legacy data is a meeting room or not? – Evan Hellmuth Jun 22 '18 at 16:38
my knowledge is as far as the docs go. – ReyAnthonyRenacia Jun 23 '18 at 01:58
