Edwards is definitely a nice one, it's one of the original campus buildings (the other original residence is Wallingford, which has managed to retain even more of its character over the years due to less-destructive residents).
Just to clarify, though, no residence truly has a staffed "front desk" at Mac. North Quad and West Quad each has Service Centres that serve multiple residences - NQ's is in the Commons Building, and WQ's is in Mary Keyes (which is the only residence that can be said to technically have a "front desk", since it just happens to be there).
Other residences may physically have a "front desk" just inside their entrances, but they are not staffed on a regular basis (just weekend nights, typically). This often causes confusion in the summer when students see them in buildings and assume that someone will be at them all the time.
