Low Risk

The Loom Hotel has been inspected four times since 2024. The most recent visit was on Nov 3, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained, & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
