Inspection summary
Comfort Inn & Suites by Calgary Airport North - Swimming Pool has been inspected 24 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since October 26, 2023. The most recent inspection, on August 28, 2026, found no infractions.
2 of 24 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 16 inspections with 23 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality and Chemicals and toxic substances.
Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.
Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk
For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.
Recorded 38 times across 22 separate inspections, most recently on August 27, 2026. For example:
Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk
Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.
Recorded 10 times across 8 separate inspections, most recently on July 23, 2026. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
