Floors in Pop Century

[RJO]

Are there still carpets in the rooms at Pop Century?

No. Renovations at POP are complete and carpet has been removed from all rooms.

Enjoy your vacation!

Its laminate hardwood flooring. I find it quite nice. See pic below. This was my room in 50's just over a week ago.
Let me know if you cant see the image.

It's laminate, which means if it's been raining when you or housekeeping walks it, it's automatically dirty and visible.

Good thing it never rains in FL.

Carpet would also be dirty, just not as visibly or as easy to clean up.

And it is SO much easier to clean then the carpet that used to be there.

*If* it was cleaned, it would be easier.

I've stayed in them about 6 times and I believe they are all vinyl.

It is tough to clean (I have a room at home)
and we have found the floors in POP swept but not particularly clean.

We find there are lots of scuffs, marks and they leave us with dirty socks.

I am sitting at the moment in my mom’s room at a nursing home where she’s temporarily staying. Except for the mickey picture over the bed, the photo of the Pop room posted above looks like a smaller version of her room except mom’s closet is bigger.

Yep, this is what I was saying when they started putting these floors in and many posters kept saying it will be so much cleaner than carpet. The bottom line is that these floors will not be washed regularly and like you said sweeping and vacuuming is not enough. I read a Disser that brought their wet/dry swiffer with them. Even though I should not have to clean after paying so much $ to stay, DW likes that idea and since we drive we will also be bringing ours. It will be very handy especially on rainy days

We found the floor in our room at Pop to fall in the not cleaned well category. Probably because it was raining when housekeeping was there. I just love muddy footprints when I come back from the park. And really, if it's raining when they're there, there's really nothing they can do about it. I totally understand that. I would just rather not see it. Better to have it hidden in the carpet, which could be vaccumed, rather than this vinyl floor that they're only sweeping. I know some people have taken a Swiffer on vacation with them, but I'm on vacation. I don't cook on vacation, I don't do laundry on vacation, I don't even legitimately unpack on vacation. You can bet I will not be Swiffering on vacation.

Just bring your Swiffer from home!

ETA: Hah! Beat me to it. That post is now a DIS classic!

Maybe Swiffer should do a promotional sponsorship!

On the bright side, don’t have to worry much about snow being tracked in
