The hotel is across the street from the convent, not part of it. Some of the pictures make it seem like you are staying in the convent. Our room was comfortable and clean, but small. There were narrowing stairs going to the room, and stairs in the room to go into the bathroom. The bathroom door is very, very short - had to almost bend over to get in. Our door did not lock securely, simply had to turn the knob to the left and bump the door to push it open when locked. The staff said that was the best they could do, but at least they had cameras. Our room was next to the street, so a bit too noisy - I would trade the view for some quiet. The restaurant on-site was amazing. All of the people in the hotel were very kind and welcoming. Bed was comfortable. I would happily return, but opt for an interior room. Enjoy Izamal, it is beautiful and amazing!
