Official record from Simcoe-Muskoka →

Inspection summary

Days Inn Spa has been inspected 19 times by Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit since December 10, 2024. The most recent inspection, on October 13, 2026, recorded 5 infractions.

2 of 19 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 12 inspections with 44 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality and Chemicals and toxic substances.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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 32 times across 14 separate inspections, most recently on October 13, 2026. For example: pH is within range of 7.2 to 7.8.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 1, 2026. For example: Safe storage and handling of all chemicals.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Decks, ladders, fencing, drains, washrooms and signage must be in good repair. Damaged drain covers or broken fencing can be real safety hazards, while most other upkeep issues are lower risk.

    Recorded 18 times across 14 separate inspections, most recently on October 13, 2026. For example: Facility kept clean, free from slipperiness and disinfected, free of hazardous obstructions and ventilated to remove odours.

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, water-test logs, posted bather rules and emergency procedures. Daily test logs are how operators show the water was checked and treated between inspections.

    Recorded 14 times across 8 separate inspections, most recently on July 6, 2026. For example: Daily records are kept and signed each operating day.

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Pumps, filters, chemical feeders and safety equipment such as lifebuoys, reaching poles and first-aid kits must be present and working. Missing safety equipment can matter a great deal in an emergency.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example: Public spa and its equipment maintained in a safe and sanitary condition and in proper working order.
