Room was great: comfortable and spacious with lots off electrical outlets. It is right on Sloat Ave, a busy enough street so there was a lot of road noise. Was good for one night.

Basic needs and no service

The hotel smelled of curry at every corner. Check in was easy and he met us into the room early. The room was basic and clean. Distance to Ocean Beach and public transportation is great. My issue was the lack of communication and service. You’re on your own after checking in. You can ring the bell for service but no one comes out. There is no number you can call. Don’t ask questions unless you want to be scoffed at. And at check out, service was rude. Never again.

Everything was great. I would stay there again. The only one thing I did not appreciate was the man at the front desk calling me at 10:45 PM asking me to move my car from the upper level to the lower level.

Rooms were nice but the property itself is small. Our room was right next to the custodian room and there was a lot of noise starting early in the morning. Someone also set off the fire alarm during our stay. I booked this room after doing some research in the area because I was going to a concert near by, I was told I had to check in before 10pm the day of my reservation, if I would’ve known this I wouldn’t have booked it and wasn’t able to cancel it to book somewhere else. I tried calling the hotel to see if there was anything they could do to accommodate a later check in and the guy who took my call was so rude about it. I understand policy and if there was nothing he could do but to immediately just be a snob was not okay. I wouldn’t book here again. Rooms are all down a small hallway and you can hear all the noise everyone makes like crying babies and staff loudly talking.

Rude, dirty, and uncomfortable.

The couple/owners were so unfriendly and the place was extremely dirty. We cleaned the floors ourselves with a wet towel and the towel turned black from the dirt. WiFi didn’t work, and when we mentioned it to the man, he said that no one else complained about it and that it must be our mistake. When we asked for a couple of extra coffee packets he tossed them at us instead of handing it over.

Convenient Location

I needed a place in SF near 280 and this was the closest. Great location if you're going to the SF Zoo or other places on that side of town. No elevator which was OK. The salt air crushes any building near the beach and this place is rough around the edges and is a 2-star, albeit much better than a Motel 6-type place

I love staying here! As a solo female traveler who travels to San Francisco monthly to teach a class, I feel safe, enjoy the friendly owners, and love the price point. My room is always spotless I can walk barefoot and not worry. Across the street from the zoo, walkable to the ocean, and the best Pizza and Java Beach Cafe are next door! Life is great and affordable at Mirage Inn. After 14 trips here— this is my go to affordable most bang for your buck stay! Not a party hotel, it’s always quiet overnight and very safe.
