I’ll be honest - LUME is really not my type of hotel, despite having a good bed and good shower. The rooms being so tight (even when upgraded) and the lack of noise isolation are big downers, and I was not offered any a la carte or made-to-order options at breakfast. Here are my impressions and photos:

Pros:
  • Upgraded many days in advance from a 1 Twin to Premium Double (Executive King) - this was definitely appreciated
  • Bed was quite comfortable - plush mattress, plush pillows, plush covers
  • Shower pressure was good and strong
  • The breakfast options on the small buffet did taste good - scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, croissant, and carrot cake - again, I was not offered any omelets or other a la carte options as was previously reported (seems a bit limited)
  • Was able to get 4 PM checkout

Neutral:
  • In-room welcome gift was a tiny jar of apple liquor

Cons:
  • Effectively no view with little privacy to other houses
  • Bad interior noise isolation - could hear others talking, etc.
  • Room layout with furniture seemed sub-optimal and a bit bizarre
  • Drug addicts snorting substances in square next to hotel
