Hi Zach,

I'm a local.

Amsterdam has hotels of all sorts to suit all wallets so it depends a lot
on what you're looking for.

ECLM is being held in Hotel Arena which is a comfortable hotel, slightly
quirky and pleasantly located in a park close to the centre of the city.
(http://www.hotelarena.nl/).

If you have any questions about specific hotels, areas or generally about
your stay in the city, feel free to ask. I'd be glad to help.

Reserve early if you can. In the course of the year Amsterdam has many
large events which means that hotel room availability can sometimes get
difficult.

Here's a link to a guide to Amsterdam written by a colleague from an
institute across the street from mine. You may find it useful.

One thing I would recommend for visiting Amsterdam is to rent a bicycle.
Weather permitting, it's a great way to experience the city.
