My check-in experience was awful. The check-in lines are long. For some reason, while having 3 check-in desks and enough personnel, only 1 or 2 work and I had to wait almost 1 hour to get checked-in. However, the wait is not the worst part about this hotel's check-in. The personnel, especially the person who was checking me in (his name starts with S.) was completely contradictory to Marriott's standards. Rude, self-important, lacking any sort of understanding or empathy are just a few words I can describe the hotel's check-in personnel. The person (above-mentioned S.) who was supposed to complete my check-in did not only fail to help me and told me to way over the official 3PM check-in time, but also proved to be totally incompetent, made a lot of cranky, irritating comments and even told me that he would personally not allow me to stay 5 or 10 minutes longer for my check-out, which is bizarre, since I checked out at 5 hours earlier because of my early flight. Lastly, we were not assisted with our bags, were not told about any amenities, were not informed about breakfast location, and were not even explained correctly where our elevators were. The hotel is not easy to get around, especially the first time. In addition, hallways smell pretty bad. I would highly recommend visitors to Baku to evaluate other options, since you can get a lot better deal for the same prices as Marriott Boulevard.
