Unified

I am not sure whether the word "unified" can be used under the following circumstance:

A seminar is held in Shanghai, China. Various attendees from various regions throughout the country attend the seminar. The organizer is responsible for the accommodation of all attendees.

Could I say "the accommodation will be arranged by the organizer under a unified plan/on a unified basis/in a unified way" or "the accommodation will be arranged by the organizer in a single/uniform way"?

You will have to explain to me a little more about the nature of the accommodation plan(s).

Winkie:
Unified means that there are many options combined into one, so it could work, as Mr.M has said. You can also use "consistent":

Accommodations will be arranged by the organizer in a consistent and uniform way.

If you mean that everyone will be treated equally (no one will get preferential treatment), you can use "equitable".

I mean there is only one accommodation arrangement, and this only arrangement applies to all attendees

I think it does not mean everyone will be treated equally

Then perhaps something like:

Accommodations will be arranged by the organizer in a single plan, with no exceptions.
