The grungy old Union South was sort of an unknown spot for most UW Students back when I went to school here. Sometimes the student concert folks would book a great band or two downstairs, and perhaps you might have been bowling here, but other than that, there was not much going on here. Fast forward to 2012, and you have a pretty cool lodge feel to the place - everything is very modern and new looking and you also have a hotel here. Way to go UW. Now, I knew there were rooms here in the old days, but they now have a professional hotel lobby and friendly staff to help you. This is also the place where you get your UW ID. Otherwise the "complex" really is a place for those who are on the South campus to hang out. Nice job UW. It is a little slick and clean and feels like a real hotel lounge, bar, etc., but compared to the dingy predecessor it is quite an improvement.
