- For the week that began with the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, San Diego County hotels sold a total of 330,469 room nights, roughly 7,000 less than the week prior. County hotels have historically seen steeper declines in leisure demand in the week after a major holiday weekend, so this slight downturn is both predictable and better than expected.
- County occupancy was 73.4%, down slightly from 75.0% in the previous week. Despite the reduced occupancy, San Diego ranked 2nd in the nation among top markets (up from 5th) and 1st in the western competitive set (unchanged). New York, San Diego, and Denver were the top markets this week.
- County ADR fell $6 to settle at $209 for the week, ranking San Diego 6th among top markets (down from 5th) and 2nd in the western set (down from 1st).
- The combination of reduced occupancy and lower ADR prompted a $7 reduction in RevPAR, which settled at $154 last week, ranking the county 3rd in the nation and 1st in the western set.
- As expected during a holiday week, group occupancy among upscale properties dropped from 27.2% to 20.9%, but San Diego remained the western leader, ahead of Phoenix and Orange County at 16.2% and 16.4%, respectively. Group ADR also declined, to average $252 for the week.
- Saturday night occupancies ranged from 78.6% in La Jolla to 92.8% in South/East County.
