"Laukiamoji" is pronominal form of the adjective. While both forms could be used, I'd prefer "laukiamoji salė". This website, dedicated to the Lithuanian language, supports the same opinion:
http://ualgiman.dtiltas.lt/kk_kalbos_dalys.html:
„Iš pirmo žvilgsnio atrodo, kad laukimo salė patogiau ir trumpiau negu laukiamoji salė. Tačiau antrąjį terminą galima trumpinti – sakyti: čia laukiamoji; susitiksime laukiamojoje; eikim į laukiamąją ir pan., vadinasi, lankstesnis, patogesnis yra būtent šis terminas.“
