It is safe to assume that prior to this week, nobody visiting San Diego would have planned their holiday around the Marriott Courtyard hotel in Solana Beach.

But after Prince Harry's well-documented stay there with a mystery brunette following a night out in the Californian city, interest could soon rocket.

And to commemorate, or cash in on, the regal appearance, bosses at the $129-a-night hotel have renamed the room which Harry used during his party weekend as the Royal Suite.

Low prices: Rooms can be bought for as little as $129 a night

Early hours: A brunette reportedly identified by staff as Jessica Donaldson left the hotel at 6am

Staff are even thinking about putting together a royal package to go with a booking of the hitherto unremarkable second floor room, which overlooks the courtyard.

The hotel's sales manager Cassie Smith said: 'We had no idea he was coming. He arrived with his friends and checked in at the front desk like anyone else.

'He stayed in room 202 and we have now renamed it the Royal Suite.'

She told the San Diego Union-Tribune that while the moniker initially started as a joke, staff are now considering ways to maximise the royal connection, by potentially offering monarchical goodies to customers.

These pictures of the type of room Harry stayed in show a perfectly comfortable setting, but one you would not necessarily expect a future King of England to rest in.

Ms Smith told the paper that the 27-year-old prince was friendly, drank a breakfast latte, and casually checked himself out on October 16.

Exactly who Harry, the third in line to the throne, shared the room with has been the source of much debate.

The helicopter pilot prince, who is three weeks into an advanced weapons training course in California, apparently invited brunette Jessica Donaldson to his hotel room after a late-night drinking session.

Multiple sources at the hotel claimed to the Mail on Sunday to have seen a brunette fitting 26-year-old Jessica's description arrive alone by taxi in the early hours.

The woman was seen leaving around 6am. A night manager at the hotel yesterday looked at a photo of Jessica and said: 'Yes, that is definitely her.'

Jessica, who lives with her boyfriend of three years, burly nightclub promoter Brandon Thomason, insists it 'must have been some other girl'.

Harry met Jessica, who has a large rose tattoo running across her midriff, when he visited the Ivy nightclub in San Diego, a two-hour drive from his base on Friday, October 7.

She works there as a 'bottle girl', selling over-priced vodka to tables of wealthy punters at £350 a time.

Pictures emerged of the two apparently embracing at the Belly Up Tavern, also in Solana Beach, the weekend before last.

Jessica denies the two were kissing and also refutes hotel sources, who say she was the girl the prince took back to the Royal Suite, formerly known as room 202.

One source at the hotel says: 'Harry and the brunette were kissing [in the lobby]. They ended up going back to his room. In the morning he walked her to a blue car that arrived to pick her up.'

Jessica has admitted that Harry is 'a real life Prince Charming' but says: 'I am not sleeping with Prince Harry and he has never been anything but a total gentleman to me. I am very upset that this has all blown up.'
