Not digging the “no carpeting” new trend

[tommygunn]

Hey I get it. More sanitary, lasts longer so more economical for the mouse. Makes sense.

Unless comfort if your thing. I’ll take an old carpet for my feet (even one where millions of feet have been before, so long as it’s maintained) instead of a fake wood one or the “concrete” that’s on the floor of the AOA. So sterile, spartan, and uninviting.

Right there with you. I understand a lot are loving it. I just don't.

Most people are skeeved out by the carpeting in hotels. I’m not one of them. Lol. I like carpeting too, though I’m getting used to being in rooms without it as more and more hotels get rid of it.

I really like the concept that the floors will be cleaner but on our last stay at Coronado Springs, our socks were filthy after walking around our room!

We have not been since covid started so maybe they are cleaning better now?!

I hate carpeting in hotels. Years and years of numerous human bodily fluids seeped into those fibers. Ugh. Sometimes I would wear 2 pairs of socks just walking around the room. Give me a floor that I can wipe down with a Lysol wipe any day of the week.

I wear socks in hotels regardless.

I like the cleaner open look between the floor and refurbish. But I’ve seen people say they miss the sound absorption of carpet because now they can hear ppl upstairs.

This definitely is the only reason we miss the carpet. Staying at OKW a few times over the past few months, if we didn’t get the 3rd floor, it sounded like a herd of horses staying above us. Everytime.

Yup, Disney's selling out to the no carpet, no bath (only shower) trend and turning their resorts into college dorimitories.

I'm super skeeved out by hotel room floors so I always wear a pair of flip flops inside whether its carpeted or not.

We only stay on the top floor at OKW for that reason. One year we had children above us who just seemed to run from one side of the room to the other over and over, it drove us crazy! I'd rather climb all those stairs to our room that listen to that again.

I prefer carpeting, as well. I don't spend any time on the carpet and always pack my slippers. I wear them at home, too, so I have to have them on vacation. No bare feet for me unless I am literally entering the shower or the pool. I agree about the sound absorbing quality of the carpet. Even though we always stay on the top floor at Pop, I still think it absorbs sound even inside the room.

We're definitely in the group of preferring hard surfaces in hotels. Carpet gets nasty quick and is very hard to remove everything from.

I don't think "sterile" is a bad thing in 2020 fwiw.

This is a Florida thing. There is this fine black dust? sand? that gets all over everything. The only way I keep it down to a reasonable level is to never have the windows open in the house. If I open the windows for a change of air, I will be wiping up black stuff for days afterwards. In a hotel with any exterior opening, whether the main door to the outside or a balcony door or a window that opens, you will get that stuff in the room. I always take either my HM Crocs or flip flops to wear in the room.

With housekeeping coming less often, you actually have more black stuff on the floor during a stay now than you did before when it was cleaned every day. My last stay they only swept the floor once in ten days (there were some crumbs by the table that were kind of obvious). The rest of the time they just took out the trash and left fresh towels.

I've always loathed carpet, so I'm glad to see the hard flooring. Carpet is one the dirtiest, most disgusting inventions ever! It's NEVER clean!

 

[MomOfDisneyPrincess]

I can see any warm climate area dispensing with carpeting. However, when you live in an area where it actually gets cold, carpeting or area rugs keep everything more cozy. IMHO.

It's all about cost savings.

If Disney could get away with no shower they would.

This is the "trend" they are following. Guess where this is?

I like the no carpeting trend. Less chance of my allergies being triggered and it just seems more hygienic. I bring a pair of slippers for comfort anyway.

 

[Deb & Bill]

With DVC one bedrooms and larger, you get both. Hard floor in the bathrooms and living rooms and carpet in the sleeping areas.

Okay, where is it?

I have some nostalgia for how the old rooms looked but I love the cleanliness of the "wood" floor. Think if a kid vomits on the carpet how gross/time consuming that is to clean out of carpet....
