- For the week leading up to the Fourth of July holiday weekend, total room night demand registered 368,733 room nights sold, a decline of roughly 17,000 room nights from the week prior. This trend is not cause for alarm, however; hotel demand typically softens modestly leading up to the Fourth of July holiday but quickly rebounds thereafter.
- County occupancy retracted 3.7 points to 81.9% this week, yet San Diego remained a top U.S. destination. San Diego ranked 3rd among top markets (unchanged from last week) and 1st in the western competitive set (up from 2nd). Denver, Oahu Island and San Diego were the top three markets this week.
- The convention center held two events with a combined total of 13,000 room nights spread throughout the week. As a result, upscale properties had an average group occupancy of 28.8% for the week, peaking at 40.9% on Tuesday. Group ADR however dipped by roughly $20 to settle at $242 this week. Among upscale properties, transient occupancy and ADR was relatively unchanged from the week prior, at 47.9% and $359, respectively.
- County ADR held steady at $235 this week, ranking San Diego 3rd in the nation (unchanged) and 1st in the west (also unchanged). Last week’s rate is about $45 higher than during the same week in 2019.
- The drop in occupancy pushed RevPAR lower from last week’s high of $205 down to $193 this week, but San Diego remains the 3rd highest RevPAR in the nation and 1st in the west.
- Saturday night occupancies ranged from mid-80s to low-90s throughout the county.
