Wow, I'm first! This puzzle is nicely constructed but pretty easy. A good beginner puzzle.

Rather easy though.
But anyway.

heey... i reviewed this one! i liked it! i accepted it! (:
I like this kind of puzzle. Very fun!
fun i enjoyed it
I got it right away. This one is very enjoyable. All proper n what not.
#3 and #6 were pointless clues because they were not able to difinitively say anything. Having a great view doesn't have to mean the top floor, it could mean bottom floor and the windows looked out onto a beautiful patio. #6 didn't tell us if above was directly above or maybe just anywhere above, and we already knew Steve had to be on floor 2, which means Frank had to be somewhere above him. It was solveable without useing either of these clues, with or without their intended meanings.
The puzzle could be solved using just clues 5-7.
Very good.
Must admit this puzzle almost got me... the quarter past 3 was getting me for somereason!
I got floor 3 and 4 mixed up.
mocha613 is right, just the clues 5-7 are necessary to solve the grid
@bloody-albatros, @harmonize9: clues 5-7 suffice if you interpret #5 as implying that Reggie is on the first floor (the most likely interpretation, granted). And @mocha613 is wrong about #6 - if you flip Steve and Frank's floors, all the other clues still work, so we don't know that Steve is on floor 2 without clue 6.
