TL;DR
Late checkout depends on hotel occupancy and may not be available on a given day. If you cannot keep the room, hotels may allow you to leave luggage at reception and continue using their facilities after the standard 12:00 checkout.
One guest was quoted US$87 for late checkout. Even without extending the room, wristbands reportedly remain on, so guests can keep using the hotel facilities and use a designated shower room before departure.
Arrange a room extension at least one day before departure; the hotel may decline requests made later.
For an evening flight, you may be able to leave your suitcases at reception and continue using the hotel services after vacating the room. This option was reported for guests checking out after 12:00.
The standard checkout time at the hotel discussed is 12:00. Keeping the room for several additional hours needs to be arranged directly with the hotel.
Late checkout is not guaranteed: on one reported day the hotel was not extending rooms, apparently because it was full. It is sensible to have a backup plan for luggage storage.
Ask the reception desk about a room extension in advance or on the morning of departure; travelers were seeking to extend their room for 3–4 hours.
