Resource display name

I want to create an event using the Graph API with a meeting room location as a resource attendee. I'm adding the meeting room as a location and inviting the meeting room as a resource attendee as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-post-events?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=httpMy problem is that I only have the email of the meeting room, not the display name. So a second location ends up getting added once the meeting room accepts the invite that has the correct display name (but same email). If I later try and update the time for that event, the meeting room declines the update saying that "Two or more spaces cannot be booked at the same time". If I create the event by only inviting the meeting room as an attendee and leaving the location empty, the meeting room declines saying that "Spaces cannot be booked as attendees."

 

Is there a way to create the event so that the initial events gets accepted and I am able to successfully update the time later?
Or is there a way to get the display name of the meeting room so that I can add the location with the correct display name so that the event doesn't end up with two locations?
