A Room Reservation does not need an Event.
An Event can have a Room Reservation.

Events and Reservations have their own time fields. 
The Room Reservation can have padding for setup and cleanup.

Public Location is shown to the world.
Location Taxonomy is trimmed by Role access. 
You can only reserve what you have access to , but you can see the public list of all spaces on the calendar views.
