We visited QC in June and loved it.
We got a good deal at the Hilton Hotel there - great views from the pool on the roof, and easy access to the rest of the city from there. Don't know about other accommodation, sorry.
Found lots of bars, cafes, restaurants to choose from, especialy down in the old quarter - you can get the funicular from Le Chateau Frontenac (now there's a place to stay if money is no object
) into the Quartier petit champlain http://quartierpetitchamplain.com/enwe spent ages there, lots of good places to eat and drink, as well as tourist shops, galleries etc.
If you get chance, a trip down the St Lawrence is also worth while - we did it one evening and had a great time
Don't know if you've seen this website, might give you more ideas

I liked but wasn't thrilled by the Chateau Frontenac. I thought the Auberge du Tresor a better deal (small hotel over restaurant very close to the Chateau). Le Vendôme restaurant I thought was excellent, seeing a bored a potentially troublesome child at our table, the staff whisked her away and amused her in the kitchen

Perhaps I should have said mid to CHEAP.

There are two restos I would recommend in Quebec City. First one is Lapin Saute, in Petit Champlain. Very nice for rabbit and duck, but make sure to book in advance.
Second place is Chez Victor, you can't be wrong with it. Best burgers ever!
As for place to stay, depends what you are doing. Last time I went to the Marriots and really enjoyed it. Great location, nice fireplace at the entrance, close to the citadelle and parliament (which you can visit, go for it!). Literally in front of Gate St-Jean and the theater presenting Les Miserables.
As for what to see, are you ready to travel a bit and get out of the town? If so, you need to go to Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre and see church. As well as the Chute Montmorency. It is also worth a trip on Ile D'Orleans, wonderful for blueberry products, and a few good wine makers.

Ahh welcome back. Good vacation? And, more importantly, any luck with the Biiink in a Bikini picture quest? Enquiring minds want to know......
