How we got these. Nobody publishes verified nightly rates by San Diego neighborhood, so the ranges above are our own estimate of where a normal booking lands, not a quote and not a sourced figure. These are ranges, not quotes. Summer weekends, Comic-Con and race season run well above the top of them.
For scale, countywide: hotels averaged $235 a night (June 2026 · CoStar, via Hotel-Online), short-term rentals $318 (12 months ending August 2026 · AirDNA). Those two are real market data.
