I’m sad that I go downgraded upon arrival because the room I paid for “wasn’t ready yet” even though it was several hours after the check in time.

Nice safe area, walkable. Close drive to the things we wanted to do. Pool area closed off so not able to go outside to sit and relax. VERY expensive bottles of water in room, could buy a whole case with lots of change left over from Walmart for this price. Bathroom door was a joke! Noisy and hard to close. Room and facilities were very clean. Would not stay here again for the price. Valet parking was a pain and continually having to tip each time you picked up or dropped off your car.

I got worried after I booked The Lumen when I read some of the reviews, but none of that turned out to be the case for us. We had an exceptional time and found the hotel to be quiet, comfortable, and exceptionally convenient. Yes, you have to use their valet-- but they are super about getting the car in and out and it never took more than 10 minutes. The area is busy and actually, the valet simplifies things. The desk and valet attendants were friendly, approachable and well spoken. Our beds were comfortable (and I'm picky)-- with 4 pillows per bed, each one slightly different so you can find the one that works best for you. The shower was AMAZING-- great shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The only thing I think they could improve would be the quality of the towels-- they're not fluffy and soft. We didn't eat at the onsite restaurant so I can't comment on that but overall, it was a big win!
