1. It's never happened to me, or anyone I know after many years in the industry.
2. Hotels would be really stupid to have smoke detectors which will go off if someone takes a long shower, regardless of whether the door is open or shut. If they did that, then hotel fire alarms would be going off constantly, which they're not.
Not saying it could never happen, but I wouldn't refuse to use the shower on that premise

Happens on a daily basis at our GSO overnight and our training hotel in DFW.
