Iljitsch,
As I said, a given conference facility (which *could* be in a hotel,
but you have precious few that size in NL) has to have:
* Enough meeting roomS (that's S as in plural, rooms, we do paralell
sessions at the IETF). And a large one for the plenary of course.
* Enough hotel rooms around/nearby at acceptable rates
* Infrastructure that lends itself to building the IETF network.
* Cost of meeting room rental and F&B within an acceptable range
(There is a wide range here and in these economic times, this is a
real issue).
* Be available/rentable for the dates in question.
Given those constraints, we ended up in Maastricht.
Of all the people who have to travel to this meeting, I would not have
imagined that you would be the one to complain. The Netherlands is not
a large country and it's not far from a lot of places in continental
Europe.
