not an issue. they have very good diplomatic relationships with israel and are a friendly country.
you need a visa if you want to leave the airport. costs around $30

Visa is a bit more costly then that, and needs to be arranged in DC well before hand

I just posted that it can be mailed, no need to go down. But it's a process of a few weeks

havent, would love to though. Just sold a flight to a client who wanted to stop there and had to research the whole process. He's doing a stop for a few hours but won't leave the airport so he doesn't need one in the end.

Ran into some issues while at it, so I said to whoever I was talking on the phone, "get me your supervisor", she replied, I'm the consulate general, whoops...

Haha, things like that don't happen every day. But that's what you get when you travel to areas not well known I guess

for anyone who has been to Azerbaijan, what do you recommend doing on an 11 hour stopover. was thinking of just crashing in hotel but is there anything worthwhile to do there not too far?

Your going to go through the whole visa hassle for 11 hrs?

would I need a visa to go to airport hotel? crashing on airport seating isn't an option for 11 hour stopover

As long as hotel outside immigration you need visa.
