Just got back from doing this 2 weeks ago. We stayed at the Residence Inn, which is literally across the parking lot from the AG store. We didn't do an extra-cost package, just told them we wanted the standard AG package. We got a studio room, which was nice. They called a day before we checked in to get my daughter's name, and they welcomed her by name as we were checking in. She got a letter on cute AG stationery from the manager, which entitled her to one free snack from the market. There was milk and Otis Spunkmeyer cookies in the room, and the AG doll bed. It's a little like a chair that folds out to a bed, but it was cute. (I pulled this pic from google...but this is the bed you receive).
We decided not to do the extra packages that include the gift card, etc because my daughter was using her bday $ she had been saving especially for this trip. We ate the free continental breakfast at the hotel. I do recommend eating in the AG restaurant, though. We ate the last seating they offer, which was 5:00, since the restaurant closes at 5:30. My daughter loved the food, which wasn't terribly overpriced, and they give you a little high chair to use for your dolls so they can sit at the table also. She also loved the little doll holder in the bathroom stalls, so your doll doesnt have to get icky on the bathroom floor!
