The place is actually very pretty but the rooms are definitely "Franciscan" style - bare necessity.

Being in the summer and facing west, the rooms were quite hot to be in when we checked-in in the afternoon. However the rooms didn't get to cool off until way past midnight. So be prepared for the heat.

The location is good because it was a short stroll to the town square. The town is really pretty. The houses were all painted in earth-tones that they look picturesque.

The other up-sides of the hotel are free WIFI in the lobby and ample of parking.

If I do more people will want to use it and then where will I go? I spent a month there while attending Language school and I loved it. The staff were great breakfast was good dinners okay ... Quite the place used to be an old nunnery so it has the old world charm folks look for, middle class Mexicans love the place and it is heavily booked on holidays.... I enjoyed staying there.

Monjas is my favorite place to stay in SMA. The balcony views are to die for and parking is within the gates. Rooms are plain but immaculate. Rates are reasonable and owners are friendly. Location is perfect.

Stayed 4 nights at 500 pesos ($38) rate. Very good location just two blocks from el jardin. Extremely safe, free parking in hotel grounds. Large room with great viewe, double bed, desk, sofa (mauve vinyl) and chair. Hotel has several patios and nice flowers & plants. Bathroom was spacious and tiled.

Hotel owner is grandson of original developer and very helpful; however, uses his grandfather's adding machine and probably hasn't updated much else of the hotel.

Beautiful dining room with marvellous views; however, menu was too boring to try - club sandwiches, hamburgers, chicken enchiladas. But they kindly sold me coffee to-go in the mornings. Never found the advertised Bar.

During our stay, hotel extremely quiet during the week but business picked up Friday/Saturday with Mexican guests.

Overall, a very good stay at this price point but that mauve vinyl sofa needs to go!
