Thank you for your feedback! It is also possible we are spoiled here on the West Coast with 4 star hotels for traditional tournaments like the GPO:

Over there the deals listed for 4 stars are within $109 per night. Of course you know the best what is your local reality. It just surprises me Quebec City is more expensive than our BC (Bring Cash) Coast
