Fodor's Review:

This breathtaking 16th-century building—the former Convento de Santa Catalina de Siena—is one of the city's landmarks. Around every corner is a discovery—a rear patio holds the covered pileta, a circle of stone basins where the nuns did laundry. The lavish breakfast buffet is served under the arches in what was the convent's kitchen. The grassy courtyard where mariachis play is a great spot for a margarita. Members of the staff are crisp and professional, and always ready with directions or advice—as you'd hope they would be, given the audacious prices. Pros: Historic building, beautiful courtyard and pool area, excellent service. Cons: Very pricey, exterior rooms get street noise, some rooms are dark and small.

The rooms are tiny. Save your money and just visit there for a drink.
