The Lumen's best features are its location (directly across from SMU), the comfort of the rooms, and the presence of bigger-hotel amenities in a more intimate setting. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the showers are, as others have observed, a fantastic experience. Flat-screen, wall-mounted TV, free wi-fi and clock radios that are also i-pod docks are all a plus.... more

We decided to stay at Hotel Lumen because of is proximity to SMU. The hotel was small and clean. The bed was comfortable and the location was prefect. Our only complaint was the walls were REALLY thin. We could hear the guy in the room next to us coughing ALL night long. It was so loud I felt like I... more

We stayed at the Lumen on Saturday and had an enjoyable time. I had no problem with the seated front desk person, or the bathroom door that didn't close all the way. I loved that it was a smaller hotel; it was quiet, and I can't say enough about that shower! I would have happily spent my entire time in... more

I was in Dallas on business in September and didn't want to stay in one of the big box hotels. I also chose Hotel Lumen due to it's close proximity to a friend's house. This hotel lived up to what I expect of a Kimpton property, smartly decorated, clean rooms and an attentive staff. My room was gigantic! I think... more

My wife and I stayed in the Lumen in August and again in September, 2007, for a total of 6 nights. We had a two-room suite both stays. The room decor and hotel decor are modern, and we found it attractive. The rooms were very clean. Valet parking is mandatory, and is $10 in addition to the room charge. But... more

My fiance and I spent the weekend here - what a great stay! We currently live in different states, so pick a place for a long weekend every couple of months. This was a great getaway location for us. There were lots of things to do nearby and the hotel staff was knowledgeable about local area dining and attractions. The... more

This is was the first time we had stayed at a Kimpton hotel and we will def. go back! The hotel was very modern and stylish. We stayed in their Double Premier Room with 2 Double Beds. The room was only 310 sq feet but felt roomy for four adults. The beds had pillow top mattresses and were VERY comfortable.... more

At first glance, you wouldn't think my 78 year old mother would like Lumen....it's modern and, for Texas, edgy. But they accept pets, and for FREE! The bed was so divine that I'm getting one for Christmas. The staff is trained to be extra accomodating and pleasant. The only thing we missed was a coffee pot in the room. Oh... more

I love the Hotel Lumen. For the price and the location it can't be beat! Yes, som e of the rooms are small, but that shower can't be beat. I have stayed in large rooms and small rooms and yes, the big rooms are better, but I don't see signs of wear and tear? Normal usage... I like it a... more
