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!

Weekend getaway
It was perfect for what we were doing and very close to our tennis tournament. Hotel was nice and rooms were big. But when we got there at 4 the room wasn’t ready but we were offered free cocktails. The service is no where near the level of the actual hotel. It is severely lacking from the front desk to the bar/ restaurant. Restaurant was never busy and service was super slow and not professional. The valet was great and professional, I believe his name was Omar. Basically nice boutique hotel but service was not up to the level.
