Residence Inn by Marriott Louisville East/Oxmoor

Residence Inn by Marriott Louisville East/Oxmoor Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Residence Inn by Marriott Louisville East/Oxmoor, you immediately get that “home away from home” feeling they’re going for — and honestly, they nail it. This three-star extended-stay property sits right off Bullitt Lane in the Oxmoor area, and I mean, the location is pretty much perfect if you want to be close to everything without dealing with downtown chaos. The lobby has that warm, residential vibe with comfortable seating areas where you actually see guests hanging out rather than just rushing through.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot in Louisville — you’re literally minutes from Oxmoor Center (great for shopping and dining), and the airport is maybe 15 minutes away on a bad day. The fact that couples rate the location a perfect 10 makes total sense when you realize you can walk to decent restaurants, there’s parking that’s actually free (which is becoming rare these days), and you’re not stuck in some random suburban wasteland. Plus, if you need to get downtown for work or sightseeing, it’s a straight shot that won’t make you question your life choices in traffic.

The Suite Experience

What sets this place apart is that every room is actually a suite with a full kitchen — and I’m talking real appliances, not some sad mini-fridge situation. The living area feels spacious enough that you’re not tripping over your luggage, and there’s a proper dining table where you can spread out your laptop or actually eat a meal like a civilized person. The bedroom is separate, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re staying more than a night or two, and the whole setup just feels more like an apartment than a hotel room.

Daily Perks & Amenities

The complimentary breakfast is better than you’d expect — they’ve got the usual suspects but also some hot options that actually taste like food rather than cardboard. There’s a decent fitness center and a pool that’s clean and well-maintained, though nothing fancy. What I really appreciate is the evening social hour a few nights a week where you can grab a drink and maybe chat with other guests, which sounds cheesy but is actually pretty nice when you’re traveling solo or just want to unwind.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this property delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. The staff genuinely seems to care about making your stay comfortable, the suites give you flexibility to live a bit normally (grocery shopping, cooking, spreading out), and that 9.3 rating reflects what you’ll experience — solid, reliable, and thoughtfully designed for longer stays. Whether you’re in town for business, relocating, or just prefer having space to breathe, this place gets the fundamentals right in a way that makes you want to book it again next time you’re in Louisville.

Best hotels in Louisville blend rooftop bourbon bars, art-filled lobbies, and chef-led tastings of hot browns and benedicts.
