Score
The health department has logged three inspections at Aloft Atlanta Downtown, the earliest from 2024. The most recent report on file is from Dec 5, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food-contact surfaces”, which has been cited three times.
Restaurants in Atlanta average 90, so Aloft Atlanta Downtown trails the local norm. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
