I think San  Diego was worse than Dublin in that respect.  At least in 
Dublin there were free busses to the city center.

the
usual array of hotels, restaurants, markets and the like.

Rewinding eleven:

Hiroshima
Stockholm
San Francisco
Minneapolis
Dublin
Philadelphia
Vancouver
Chicago
Prague
San Diego
Montreal

Of these I can name only Dublin as falling into the category which you 
class as a pattern. I am not saying Maastricht or Dublin did not have
problems, I am saying the claim that there is a significant pattern 
here is over-stating it.

Please keep in mind that we have several "non-negotiable" requirements 
for venue selection. The first is actually availability of venue on 
our dates since our dates are FIXED. Proposals for changing the 
meeting model won't necessarily change that reality.
