Weekly Hotel Performance Update – August 24-30, 2025

September 5, 2025 By JaNelle Corley Leave a Comment

San Diego hotels had a mixed performance heading into Labor Day weekend. While room night demand matched last year’s levels, the mix shifted. A medium-sized convention held during the same week in 2024 came into town a week later in 2025, reducing weekday demand. In contrast, Labor Day weekend saw a surge, with Saturday night occupancy across the city reaching 97% to 99%.

Despite the holiday boost, hotels lowered rates for most of the week. Occupancy remains softer than in 2024, partly due to the additional inventory from the Gaylord, resulting in a year-over-year decline in RevPAR.

Week of August 24 – 30, 2025

  • Room Demand: 329,636 room nights (+1,119 rooms /+0.3% YoY).
  • Occupancy: 70.2% (-3.4% YoY); 8th among the top 25 markets and 2nd in the western competitive set, behind Seattle.
