Ash&9th was a good hotel in the downtown SD area. Staff was helpful. I worked w Mark last minute to request an early check in, and he accommodated my request for a fee of $40 which was not bad at all. The room was as large as my 250sq ft apt. It was big! The room was very clean. It came w a micro, mini fridge, and coffee maker. I attempted to watch TV, but the Direct TV satellite was giving an error notification so I gave up. The room also came w a wireless charging alarm clock. The bed was a king sized bed, very clean and comfy. Bathroom had a rainfall showerhead and communal body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower. The only suggestion I would make is for a little shelf in the shower to put my own toiletries on, and a shower hook. But those were negligible suggestions and easy to overlook.
The maintenance staff was so nice as well, and accommodated my request for extra trash bags for my room. There is also a little mini snack shop in the lobby. If you're walking, be aware the hotel is on a hill. So there is an uphill climb to get to it. All in all, it was a good stay.
