Score
Across the available record, Hyatt Place Jacksonville has six inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Aug 20, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around seven violations lately and about 10 violations before that.
The pattern that stands out is “cutting board has cut marks and is no longer cleanable”, which has been cited four times.
Compared to other Jacksonville restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
