I would love to see someone quote chapter and verse of the Florida, Orange County, or Osceola County fire code, building code, whatever that states small kitchen appliances are not allowed in hotel rooms. I can't find it. I wonder if it's kind of like the commonly held belief that federal wage hour laws require an employer to give 2 15 minute breaks in a shift or even a lunch break to workers (they don't, but individual states might).

And the idea that hotel wiring is somehow substandard or inferior to residential wiring is questionable - I mean, think about it. REALLY? Maybe in an old hotel with old, un-updated wiring, but in a modern hotel?
Is it rude to cook in your hotel room? I think so. It literally smells, and hotel rooms don't have the same ventilation options (including windows that open!) as a residential kitchen. But is it illegal or against some code? Not so sure about that.
Here's a link to the average amperage for household appliances.
http://www.georgiapower.com/in-your-community/electric-safety/chart.cshtml The key is how much load a circuit can handle at one time. For example, we have a small toaster oven and a pretty big microwave in our breakroom at work, and we learned by tripping the breaker that we can't run both at the same time. Look at the amps of a coffee pot and iron - pretty sure you couldn't run both of those at the same time on the same circuit, whether it's a hotel room or home. I don't think a random crockpot or electric skillet could hold a candle to a roomful of teenage girls using blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, and a boombox all at once, but no one bats an eye at that scenario.
