Score
Inspectors have visited Hilton Garden Inn four times, with records going back to 2025. On Apr 20, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around four violations to closer to two violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “proper cold holding temperatures” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
The city-wide average sits at 96, which Hilton Garden Inn's 82 doesn't quite reach. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
