About this property

Welcome to The Snooty Fox Motor Inn

The Snooty Fox Motor Inn is a modest hotel located near the LA Coliseum stadium, surrounded by small parks and an Italian Renaissance-style library. Its setting provides practical access to several cultural attractions, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, both within easy reach for visitors interested in art and history.

This property embraces a distinctive 1970s retro aesthetic, featuring vintage decor such as brightly colored bathroom tiles and ceiling mirrors in guest rooms. The rooms are notably spacious, with some offering soaking tubs and glass showers, appealing to those who appreciate a nostalgic, kitschy atmosphere. While this style is a highlight for some guests, reviews suggest that the interiors could benefit from refreshing to enhance comfort.

Facilities at the motor inn focus on essential amenities, including free Wi-Fi and parking, as well as accessibility features. The absence of a pool, restaurant, or fitness center means guests should plan accordingly, but the property’s location near downtown Los Angeles and several airports provides convenience for travelers passing through or on short stays.

Guest feedback indicates the Snooty Fox Motor Inn offers clean and comfortable accommodations with attentive service, although some note the decor and furnishings appear somewhat dated. This hotel suits visitors seeking a budget-friendly, unique lodging experience in Los Angeles, especially those who appreciate vintage charm and straightforward amenities close to major city highlights.

Nice rooms bedding may be a little old fashion (looks) but overall good. If you’re not okay with your body may not be the place for you as it has mirrors on the sides and in the ceiling

I love this place for what it is, a throwback vintage motel of 1970's yester year. The decor with yellow, orange, and avacado green bathroom tiles, to love mirrors on the celing and around the bed make it a kitchy place to have fun. All corner rooms are HUGE suites with soaking tubs and glass showers. PARTY groups perfect for them. Most of the staff is cool, cleaning staff is AMAZING. Couple things why not 5 stars. Invest in new bed comforters and new drapes, but same 70's style. And it's 2025 you got to provide FREE WiFi!

Great location and the service was spot on. These rooms are huge and yes it’s decorated with a 70s vibe but that’s the best part mirrors on the ceiling over the bed lots of square footage and attentive staff

Getting a little long in the tooth the interiors could use a little refreshing but still one of the best getaways in LA.

This motel will re-revolutionize motels. Very 1970s looking. They put different colored lightbulbs in the light sockets (I bet no other motel ever thought of that- red was the best ones so if you are a photographer you can develop your pictures in the room), they put a mirror on the ceiling right above your bed (I'm guessing so you can look up and make sure you are YOU?), room 205 has mirrors and clear lights all over the bedroom walls to give you the effect you are in a helicopter ride over Downtown LA (at least this was the case in 2002- haven't been there since), and in every room you get a SUPER large shower with different colored tiles to give you a 1975 vibe while taking a shower- how swell is THAT?). They have rooms by the hour in case you want to take a short nap before taking a long ride somewhere. This place is awesome and will go down in history with all those cool lights and mirrors. I would tell the large fox outside on the sign that I loved this place... but I can't. He's NOT REAL- just an image on a sign.

Very cool rooms, flashback to the 70's tile work is outstanding. Plenty of parking for you and your enterouge. If you just need a quick nap and a bed they have hourly over a hundred a night. Very clean!
