Replace new carpet in Bedrooms for hardwood?

I will be closing on my 1st STR/MTR this month. I am sooooo excited but also nervous. It is a 1940s 2 bed/1bath that has been renovated by seller. They put new hardwoods throughout the house except in the 2 bedrooms which has new carpet. Arrggg. Question. Should I replace carpet with hardwoods so that they are continuous throughout house? Cost approx $3000. The other STR in my area mostly have hardwoods throughout and I personally don't like carpet which I feel many guests may feel the same. Also, having to interrupt stays to replace later doesn't make sense. I know in LTR the thought is to keep carpet until it gets messed up and then replace. Just want to get thoughts from experienced STR investors.

Thanks so much
