Candles in hotel room?

[disney_me]

Just wondering if anyone ever uses a candle or plug-in in their rooms? We all know hotel rooms have that hotel smell (not a bad smell) just not your home smell. Do you use a candle and hope you remember you blow it out before you leave the room, do you use the Glade scented oil in the glass holder so the just burn out or do you use a plug-in and forget about it?

No because even though we don't have allergies, it may affect others. I have friends who have kids that are highly allergic. Candles in a hotel room....

I personally would not use a candle. I would not want to get to the park and think.... oh no did I blow out the candle. I have used plug-in's in the past and just forget about it,and throw it away on check out day. I have also brought room spray for the bathroom, and that works well for us. We drive so no worry's with packing.

We are diving too. I was thinking about using the candle or plug-in in to room for our drive down and back. Also we are renting a house so I might use take a plug-in with me.

THANK YOU for pointing this out!!! I know there are always going to be people who do what they want -but it is really nice to see someone thinking how their actions would impact others.

Not a very good idea at all!

If you really want to freshen the smell of your hotel room, please use a air spray or one of the solid room scents. Open flames are a fire hazard. Please don't use candles.

We don't use candles or plug-ins, but I do bring my pack of essential oils with me. I put a few drops on some cotton pads and it makes the room a little more "homey". They don't really make the whole room smell (like, if you're walking by the room and the door is open you wouldn't smell anything (or even if you're across the room you wouldn't really smell them until you got close) and when we throw them away, the scent goes with them.


We do use a lysol spray in the bathroom, though

Most hotels don't want candles as they are a fire hazard.

Please rest assure all, that I WILL NOT use a candle in the hotel! I was thinking about all the post on this and I will take with me a Renuz or another kind of sick air freshener.

Do you use the essential oils at home? I'm curious since I like faint scents, and am using some over-powering Bath and Bodyworks Wallflowers. Where do you get your oils? What type of cotton pad do you put them on?

TIA!

I would never use anything in a hotel room that would leave a lingering scent that may bother another guest. Please be very considerate of other people, even if there isn't an allergy issue, they may not like the same scent that you do, and wouldn't appreciate their room smelling that way.

I wish you all could talk to the folks at my workplace - not only do they have the "auto-spray" air freshener in all the bathrooms (which is sized for large stalls, but also in the two powder rooms), they also have the air fresheners and sprays in varying scents. I always get a headache going to the bathroom...

To the OP - I'd think flameless candles or sprays would be appropriate - not anything that would include open flames or melted wax would be appropriate. (I'm not up on that stuff, because I obviously don't like fragrances...)

I have used candles in our hotel room before. This last trip to the Hard Rock (in Universal) they were selling candles in the hotel shop. I was also able to buy a lighter too, so in my mind they were okay with me burning the candle. The sales clerk didn't say anything.

BUT, I never thought about the fact that someone else might be allergic to the sent. I wont do this anymore, but how is a candle different from spray stuff? Doesn't the sent linger more with the room spray?

I can only speak for myself but Lysol sends me in a tizzy.

I agree. To me, this is like smoking in a hotel room and leaving that odor behind.

Most hotels use chemicals that don't have any smell for a reason. My mom, sister and I will have an asthma attack if we go in a room that has a strong scent. Sometimes I have to walk out of the super market because some people put too much perfume. I will say don't use anything it is just a few days and you will spend most of the time in the parks.

I bring Scentsy travel tins when we stay in a hotel (it's a small metal tin with a tiny bit of gel in it), they are tiny but they work pretty well in a hotel room.

We have a Scentsy warmer in our Owners Locker at WDW

I'm with the please don't crowd. I have chronic nausea and stuff like that sometimes makes me throw-up instantaneously. I actually threw up at the the doctors office the other day because the nurse was trying to cover up the smell of the previous patients stinky feet with sweet pea body spray, double yuck!
