I was wondering how hotels generally felt about use of candles in rooms - form reading posts here it seems like some people use them, but I thought hotels generally forbade them.

Of course you could just ignore the rules and go ahead and use them anyway if you could do so safely, but I was wondering if anyone had issues with that in the past.

Does it vary by hotel what the rules would be, or does everyone just ignore them?

Hotels also forbid any illegal activity in their rooms.

A few gals have swtiched to the electric ones, or they use Christmas lights draped over the headboard, which is quite festive.

a fire in the room how are they even going to know.  I've been in lots hotel rooms where candles were used.  It's never even crossed my mind that hotels would have a rule against that.

I know we all like really, really hot girls, but, whatever you do, don't let the girl catch on fire - at least not that way!!

I give her the candle & she lights it while I wash up.   We put it safely on the dresser, away from the action.  At home, I use a fireproof plate under jar candles because the bottoms do get hot when burned down...  I don't want to meet the "cellar savers" in front of MY house.  Of course, I'm gofting a new candle & we never burn it down during a session.  I've heard of non-smoking rooms...  never non-candle rooms!
I must admit, once I met a stunning lady for a romp in her GFE fantasy suite...  she a fimsy drapes all over & several candles...  way too close for my taste.

I always bring tupperware and duct tape to cover-up the smoke detectors (lol)  By the way, I'm just kidding!

I use the small tea cups and dispose of them in a trash can on my way downstairs to breakfast the next morning along with the condom wrappers.  Maid doesn't need to find the used candles in my trash can.  When traveling on business, once I find a hotel I like, I usually go back to it again.

and housekeeping has DEFINITELY seen them in my room too.  I've never had any issues.

I will agree, though, that you have to be careful where you throw your clothes.  

And the better (more expensive) candles smoke MUCH less.... which I guess makes sense.

Just wanted to say thanks all for the advice, I'll try to find some small profile very stable good no-smoking candles.  

mrfisher, I appreciate the thought about Christmas lights but they just don't have the same aromatic quality of candles...

assuming you are talking about a few candles, not a few dozen, consider filling the glasses in the room with 3/4 inch of water and putting the candles inside them to light.  It makes the odds of burning anything very remote and keeps the wax off both furniture and clothes (I started this after one lady who had wax run down the night table and onto her very expensibe bra that was on the floor was NOT happy).

Never had any problems with hotels at all.

wax is contained.  The smaller sizes travel easily...  just pack a bbq lighter to reach in with.  (Discount store .99)
Tapers need a heavy, sold base with a drip lip & are not fool proof.  A soft drippy candle can make a mess.   I use candles camping & you can't tell by looking, how had the wax is.

Please be careful with candles...  in my area 75% of house fires are traced to candles.   I pick up saucers at flea markets to put under candles, as a non-combustible barrier to the dresser.  Paranoid?  Maybe.  But the FD has not had to put my house out either.  It's especially important, no matter whether you are boinkin the Mrs or another Lover...  you don't want to be leaving the room naked as the day you were born!
