I checked the morning of the stay, and it had been changed to a non-accessible corner room. If I'd used OLCI then I would have got that room - but I didn't.
At check-in (around 9pm), I found I'd been moved back to a normal room, not on the corner, and a little bit smaller than the corner rooms.
Not a real issue, and it was a quick stay so I didn't really care, but it does show than OLCI can work both ways when it comes to upgrades...
I generally don't use OLCI until the FD has pre-assigned my room (upgrade).
