I believe the residents there called it the Hotard Hilton.

You are correct about Hotard.... it was built at the same time as the
Northside corps-style dorms (Davis-Gary, Moses, Crocker). Its original usage
was as living space for the hispanic workers on campus, many of whom pulled
duty in Sbisa. When the school started growing so quickly in the 70's and
80's, it was converted to "regular student" dorm usage for a time, then
converted to office space.

Chiming in at the end of this - I thought it was "Hotard" dorm, next to the
post office at Northgate, that did not have A/C.

Dean, those dorm names ring a bell. It was surely one of those, maybe Bolton.
What I remember most was paying about $45 bucks for rent for one summer
session.
Those old dorms felt kinda historic… with historic ceiling fans.

Ed, was it Milner, Legget, or Bolton? Those were the ancient dorms that had
the weird entrance, with three doors and you had to pick the right one for
the right stairs? I think they called those air well dorms, because the had
a open air shaft in the middle
Those have all been gutted, and rebuilt as offices, as far as I know
