Default Remove Vinyl tile from Oak Floor

A few years ago I rehabbed a 75 year old house, one bed room 12X14 had two
layers of peel and stick 12" tiles covering beautiful 3/4" oak floor. Once I
removed all the tiles I spent the next two days on my ass with a razor
scraper and a bottle of simple green and lots of course steel wool. Was it
worth it...you bet it was....after sanding and refinishing with stain and
water based poly it looks like a million dollars. I did all the floors in
the house and this was by far the hardest but it was well worth it. Good
luck.

The idiot that owned my house before me covered the Oak flooring in the

hall
with glue down vinyl tiles. {A section 4'x12'.) Is it worth trying to
remove the tiles and refinishing or should I just pull the entire floor

and
start over?
Suggestions?
