You mean they're more expensive in the US/CA?
You're right that they tend to work out at AUD150, although obviously area factors into it a lot (an AUD150 hotel in bush Queensland will get you two beds, an ensuite, laundry and aircon. AUD150 in a capital city will have you in someone's basement with questionable hygiene). Forget any hotel at major tourist attractions at that price.
Accommodation in US capital cities is pretty expensive. Inflation has hit the US harder than Australia over the past few years.
Yeah I was paying 300-400 usd for a hotel in San Francisco a couple of years ago! Crazy!
San Francisco and New York are both crazy expensive. I was paying over 🇺🇸 $200 a night for a hotel in San Francisco over 10 years ago. Not sure whether any other place in the USA compares on crazy prices.
