San Diego ranked 7th in the nation and 3rd in the western competitive set, below Phoenix at 86.1% and Orange County at 80.9%.

- City of San Diego properties averaged 81.1% occupancy with Mission Valley hotels leading the pack at 83.6%, followed by Pt. Loma/Airport hotels at 83.4% and Downtown at 80.5%.
- Among upscale+ hotels, Group demand totaled 56,942 RNs sold with an average occupancy of 31.2% and rates of $299. This is a significant boost from the same week of years’ past when demand was below 50K RNs.
