Old Stanley's serves the same purposes for metahumans as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagon_Alley#The_Leaky_Cauldron Leaky Cauldron] does for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizarding_world Wizarding World]. There are several elevators in the lobby, as well as a majestic dual staircase; however, only metahumans (and hotel employees) can access the fourth floor (beyond the '''very''' large foyer/concession area that the dual staircase opens onto ). Entrances to the fourth floor open onto what appears to be a vast mall-like shopping and living area, complete with a large wooded site complete with a small lake, and access to 'gateways' that can transport them to anywhere on Earth. All major metahuman business occurs upon the fourth floor, but anyone is free to stay anywhere in the hotel, which somehow always seems to have enough rooms for occupancy, and enough staff to adequately service the guests of the establishment and any needs or requests they may have, no matter how obscure or unique. The seventh floor is the 'ultra-luxury' floor, where each suite can be configured in any fashion that the guest wishes, with as much opulent decadence as the guest requires. (Guests who wish to stay on the seventh floor - and can afford to do so - must call for reservations at least twenty-four hours in advance; however, in the event of 'special circumstances', three rooms are '''always''' held open. These rooms will need a ninety-minute preparation period, which the guest may spend on the fourth floor.)
 
When [[Kyle Armalin]] went to New Orleans in 2005 to aid in the relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, he and other metahumans used Old Stanley's as a covert base of operations. When [[Black Majesty]] came to [[Legion Tower]] in search of a [[Soul Crystal]], Armalin wondered if he was known to the staff at Old Stanley's, indicating that there is a fairly comprehensive listing of metahumans available at the establishment. The VR combat simulation between the members of the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] and [[The Alliance]] (seen in LLH 12:5 and 12:6) was viewed my a select group of spectators at an establishment on the Fourth Floor known as [[The Club]], where a grest deal of wagering on the match took place.
