Saw a weird floor transition at a hotel in Denver

I was staying at a place downtown and noticed they went from carpet in the hall straight to vinyl plank in the rooms with no threshold strip. Just a hard seam. It looked clean at first, but I could feel a tiny lip with my foot. The maintenance guy said they did it to cut costs on materials and labor. Has anyone else run into a spec like that? I'm curious if it holds up over time.

Cut costs on a hotel floor? That's wild. A tiny lip is a huge trip hazard. Can't believe they'd skip the threshold strip entirely.

Yeah that trip hazard thing is real. I once saw a guy in a hotel lobby eat it on a floor seam and spill his coffee everywhere.
