SQL Inner-join with 3 tables?

by

I’m trying to join 3 tables in a view; here is the situation:

I have a table that contains information of students who are applying to live on this College Campus. I have another table that lists the Hall Preferences (3 of them) for each Student. But each of these preferences are merely an ID Number, and the ID Number has a corresponding Hall Name in a third table (did not design this database…).

Pretty much, I have INNER JOIN on the table with their preferences, and their information, the result is something like…

 John Doe | 923423 | Incoming Student | 005

Where 005 would be the HallID. So Now I want to match that HallID to a third table, where this table contains a HallID and HallName.

So pretty much, I want my result to be like…

 John Doe | 923423 | Incoming Student | Foley Hall <---(INSTEAD OF 005)

Here is what I currently have:

SELECT
  s.StudentID, s.FName, 
  s.LName, s.Gender, s.BirthDate, s.Email, 
  r.HallPref1, r.HallPref2, r.HallPref3
FROM
  dbo.StudentSignUp AS s 
  INNER JOIN RoomSignUp.dbo.Incoming_Applications_Current AS r 
    ON s.StudentID = r.StudentID 
  INNER JOIN HallData.dbo.Halls AS h 
    ON r.HallPref1 = h.HallID
