Check in was quick and easy and staff were friendly. Only concern is that the safety lock inside our room is broken

Park Inn by Radisson, Calgary Airport North, AB
The internet had a little trouble connecting but the rooms were a nice size, the breakfast was good (good diversity), and the beds were comfy. I do think the temperature control for the room was a little difficult to use as the room was quite warm but that could also have been user error.
