The TownePlace Suites Sponsors a Night Out

For their annual outing this summer, TownePlace Suites New York Manhattan/Times Square team members headed for the nearby Frames Bowling Lounge, featuring 28 lanes of bowling, a dance club, billiards, darts and karaoke — more than enough distraction to entertain coworkers looking to unwind.

“Everyone works really hard, so it’s important to show our appreciation and give the team a night out,” said General Manager Steven Lamour, who added that such an outing serves another important purpose: “Associates spend their days looking after our guests. The work can be stressful at times; this night is a time to de-stress and have fun.”

Team-building comes into play as associates share their special skills and talents. The Night Out also can be a great leveler: the general manager might be captain of the ship, but the breakfast attendant or bellman might be the best bowler. Likewise, the front desk supervisor might be great at tracking reservations but can’t hold a candle to the junior engineer when it comes to karaoke.
