Almost don't want to let the cat out of the bag...but the Hotel Lumen is a gem. Mario, the manager is super as is the rest of the staff here. Great restaurant and bar as well. My only critique is the gym-could use an upgrade (treadmill and bike are so loud you can't hear the tv).

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.

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

Hotel is right across the street from SMU. Valet only parking. Outdoor heated pool. Nice bar/restaurant area. Supper was good but not too impressed with the breakfast. 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
