Preparations at Prairie Moon Hotel

With the pre-competition exhibition game coming up in Unity, Prairie Moon Hotel is sure to be busy. Austria will be staying December 22nd and 23rd, while Latvia will just be staying the one night on the 22nd. Each team including their coaches, trainers, etc will have 22 rooms booked per night. The hotel has stopped reservations from anyone other than the players, coaches, etc to be able to cater to their needs. Besides stopping online reservations, other special preparations are being made. The teams have requested a special menu, and these meals will be catered from the Armada, Prairie Moons sister hotel, and brought over to Prairie Moon. The hotel seems to be well prepared for the game, and with arrangements being made like more inventory and extra staff helping out, manager Peter Keller who we were lucky to get an interview with stated, “We’ll be able to handle what’s coming at us.”

Even the staff of the Prairie Moon is excited about the upcoming game. The desk clerk, Susan Jones, who we got to interview as well, said that she and the staff are very excited about the coming of the teams, and they anticipate that it will be very busy during that time. They are also, as you would expect, very excited to be able to meet the teams in person, as both Latvia and Austria are staying there. And even though the teams are staying at the hotel, they say it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge to cater to them as they have made plenty of preparations for the teams, including extra staff and people on standby.

Along with a lot of work come benefits. Jones says that business should increase after this event has happened, as having two World Junior teams stay at the hotel should be a major boost in advertising. Keller explains that from the business aspect it will promote the hotel and make people aware that they are open and running a good service. “There’s nothing like free advertising” Keller said. All in all, this should be a great experience for the Prairie Hotel, and also the town of Unity itself.
