Perhaps a data point / leverage.
The week -AFTER- the IETF, was the Yokohama International Quilt week. Same
venue, same hotel. It’s been scheduled for over a year now.
Many groups/tours are SOLD OUT, in planning to attend this event, plus side
trips the week before and after. This event is larger than the IETF.
…and it was recently canceled by the organizer…
Perhaps (maybe) a number of the reserved rooms are tied to that event and they
have not cleaned up after the effects of the cancelation.

I suspect that the historically destroyed Internet connections in many of the
overflow hotels -- and the Maastrict hotel for that matter -- are perfectly
adequate for a normal mix of guests. I find it difficult to believe that you
could accurately judge what a hotel's performance would be without a load
similar to what IETF attendees typically bring with them.
To be clear, issues rise above those of simple bandwidth saturation. Most
commonly, I've seen things that I suspect are DHCP pool exhaustion (with
results ranging from issuing duplicate addresses (!) to simply being unable
to get an address) and NAT port exhaustion (leading to the inability to make
or maintain connections). We bring a unique set of stresses to an
infrastructure that are way outside the normal envelope.
