Inspection summary

Days Inn & Suites Cochrane - Whirlpool has been inspected 14 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since October 31, 2025. The most recent inspection, on October 15, 2026, found no infractions.

4 of 14 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 14 inspections with 30 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 22 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on July 2, 2026. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (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 8 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on December 12, 2025. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
