Nothing was said about the hotel, pretty sure that's a no for the Airman trainee.
You will be in with the FO interviewees, except you get a simplified written and no technical interview. HR interview is standard stuff. Be yourself.
PS It might take up to 7 hrs, there were only three of us when I was there and I was the first person interviewed, so I was out in two hours.

How long was the interview? The email I got says the interview is 7 hours long, not sure what means exactly. What kind of interview questions did they ask you? The email says they will provide flight accommodations via American Airlines, but it says they are not guaranteed flight reservations, do you think this means I am flying stand by?(probably not good when I'm traveling to an interview). Anyway, feel free to PM me if you'd like.
The interview can take a while...not because they are talking to you for seven hours, but because there may be quite a few folks they are interviewing that day. Have them fly you in the day before and get a hotel. They will fly you out after the interview.
They will put everyone in a room and provide a brief about the company. They will collect your log books and paperwork and send them off for one of the interviewers to start going over. They will cover benefits and pay. They will also answer questions. After that you take the written. For the Airmen Trainees it is a much shorter test than it is for the FOs. They say it isn't pass/fail and is used to identify potential weak areas to talk about in the interview. At the same time, I don't think I would want to fail it. After that you wait until they call you for the interview. They will normally go in flight order (person with the earliest flight home goes first). For the ATs they will go over your log book and numbers, do some HR questions, and get to know you. Real low stress. When I interviewed and was given a CJO they fingerprinted and filled some paperwork right then. It can be a lot nag day if they have a lot of people and only a couple people doing the interviews.
-be yourself. They are looking for people that will eventually become FOs and someone that they wouldn't mind doing a four day with.
-have your logbooks in order. There is a good article on the bold method on what airlines are looking for (Google "bold method logbook" and it should come up). If nothing else look at the ATP calculator on the AirWis website to see what hours they are going to look for. If they are hard to find in your logbook, then break them out or put them on a sheet in the front.
-be able to show or explain how you are going to build your hours. You should have a solid plan on how you are going to do it, or be close. Flight instructing, flying 135 cargo, you own a plane, towing banners.....

Along those lines there's nothing that I have seen to suggest that they will pay for your hotel.
