Nope, as @HobbesOnTour correctly assumed, there simply was no getting the bikes inside. We had quite a spacious room, but we were also on the fifth floor, the lifts could barely fit two people and the side staircase wasn't any more suited (assuming I had the desire to carry a 30# bike up five flights). The main staircase was an oddity that ran through things like a library and art display, where decorum dictated not trying to carry a bike through.

On the contrary, the airport hotel we stayed the very final night, next to AMS, gave us an unused conference room to disassemble and box our bikes up, and locked them in there til we left in the morning

I don't know if bike-friendly is the appropriate word for the city. Moreso bike-centric.
