So Handy...
Pros:

Loved being so close to The Ekka, and loved my main arena view from my arena view room.
Also loved the option of paying for a 1pm late checkout.

Cons:

I paid for a 1pm checkout, then on the checkout day, from 11am to 1pm three times housekeeping staff knocked and entered my room to see if I had left - this was very annoying.
Also would have liked the option to buy a cheese toastie at any time of the day.
