Going back to 2024, Ac Hotel has eight inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 26, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near two violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “ready-to-eat time/temperature control for safety food, disposition” is the recurring theme, flagged four times.
Compared to other Scottsdale restaurants (averaging 95), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
