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.

Looks a little rough on the outside and the public spaces need some work, but overall I had a very pleasant stay with friendly staff and a clean and comfortable room.
The Mirage Inn and Suite was a perfect location for our visit to the San Francisco Zoo. Our King room was perfect, with our view looking toward the zoo. The room and bathroom were immaculate and appeared to be newly remodeled. They staff were friendly and attentive.
Hotel manager is horrible. He gave us a room that smelled like cigarettes. When I asked to change rooms, first said he had no others. Then said we would have to pay cleaning fee to change rooms. I argued with him, and he kicked me out of hotel. This hotel is not recommended for anyone.
The manager stayed late, past the 10 pm check in time, as my train was late. He said he wouldn’t leave an old lady out on the street. I really appreciated it.
