The Radar: France’s Great Train Stations, Top Hotel Complaints, Philadelphia’s Month of Murals

  • France’s train stations get you where you need to go in style. Marvel at the sleek, modern ceiling at the Gare de Strasbourg and gaze at Gare Saint-Lazare’s stunning Beaux-Arts facade. [My Melange]
  • In a recent Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index Study by J.D. Power and Associates of North America, noise was listed as the top hotel complaint by guests. Snoring from adjacent rooms, surprisingly, is a regular complaint at many hotels.  [USA Today]
  • This October, Philadelphia is celebrating its murals with “31 Days, 31 Ways: Art Ignites Change.” Take a guided tour of the city’s murals or stroll along “Mural Mile,” which features 17 murals along a 3 mile route. [Matador]
