The only negative I saw was that the "fit and finish" was unfortunately typical Indian, such as paint all over the floor tiles, poor cuts on wall tiles in the bathroom, etc. Otherwise it was a very comfortable stay.

For me, however, it is not a convenient location to my office so I will be returning to the Chola. If my office were closer to the Georgetown area I would not hesitate to use the aloft as my base.
