I have been staying here for the past 4 years while I had a student attending SMU. I loved this hotel before the expansion and I love it now that everything is done and all is fully up an running and all the details are in place. The rooms in the new tower can be smaller but are a bit... More

My family stays here when they visit me from out of town. It is convenient to my location. We always feel very well taken care of. The restaurant downstairs is amazing. I love the rooms. Great place, great location. We will be staying at the Lumen more often.

I spent there 2 days in May while I was traveling around US for business. Design is gorgeous, the rooms are so spacious and comfortable. I loved the bed and big-big shower. Cozy pool even if I haven't used it. On the arrival day I could not find the car entrance...bad signs :( Wonderful breakfast...granola and yogurt...wow! Very nice valet... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in a room for ONE night, We checked out a couple of hours before check out and got our receipt from the front desk and we're told to come back. We then noticed after we checked the bank account that we had a $250 charge and a $7 charge. When we called and asked why... More

Rooms are clean, comfortable, nice big windows, quiet. Our room had a mini fridge but no coffee-maker (apparently they offer coffee downstairs in lobby area), and no in-room microwave. l Would stay again... More

I've stayed in numerous Kimpton hotels, and this is by far the most disappointing. I've stayed at the Lumen three times. The first two it was under renovation, so I made allowances, but that's done now and it is still below acceptable standards. The rooms are nicely appointed but small (common in Kimpton chain) but the halls are dark and... More

Directly across the street from SMU. If you get a room facing the campus, it can get a little loud. Room was very clean and hotel staff were terrific. Hotel is valet parking only and parking is $13 a night. Its in a very safe location. My room was well appointed and very clean. However, housekeeping did not inventory the... More

The lobby area is beautiful and elegant. We had a quick and easy check-in and the staff was very friendly. The rooms are spacious and tasteful. We got a fantastic and huge shower stall. The free wine happy hour is lovely. Although we miss it on the second day of our stay, the staff at the reception insisted to serve... More
