Hilton Garden Inn Austin Downtown
83/100 — Satisfactory
Scores higher than 955 of 6,939 Austin-area facilities with a published score — about 14% of them. Citywide median current score: 93/100.
What a score of 83 means
Satisfactory. Inspections start at 100 and lose points for each violation the inspector writes up, so 83 means 17 points of violations were recorded on that visit. 80 to 89 is the middle band: real violations were found and written up, but the visit did not fall into the lowest group. It is a pass, not a clean sheet.
Scores higher than 955 of 6,939 Austin-area facilities with a published score — about 14% of them. Citywide median current score: 93/100. In ZIP 78701, it scores higher than 77 of 531 facilities with a published score (ZIP median: 91/100).
A score is a snapshot of a single visit on a single day. It measures compliance with food-safety rules — not food quality, service or how clean the place is today. Austin Public Health does not publish the individual violations behind a score, so this dataset cannot say what was found.

Inspections conducted by Austin Public Health
Health inspections are conducted by Austin Public Health to ensure restaurants maintain proper food safety standards. Scores are based on compliance with Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER) and assess factors including food temperature control, employee hygiene, facility cleanliness, and pest control. Regular inspections help protect public health by identifying and correcting violations before they can cause foodborne illness. Austin Public Health does not publish individual violation records alongside the score, so specific findings from a given visit are not part of this dataset.
