Amazing location across from the beach and 2 blocks to Washington Mall. Loved the live music at the restaurant/bar next to the pool and the ability to get drinks while lounging poolside. Our room had a mini kitchenette which was useful and the balcony overlooking the ocean was amazing. Double beds are painfully small for our tall family but it was a reasonable trade off for a short trip to get those other benefits already mentioned. Staff was friendly and helpful and I appreciated the 2 free beach tags and beach/pool towels.

Marquis is FABULOUS!!

The perfect location!! Within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the infamous Washington Mall. The hotel affords spectacular views of the ocean. Friendly knowledgeable staff, comfortable airy rooms most with a relaxing balcony. A beautiful pool area with an open bar and convenient secure parking. I definitely would return.

LOVED THE ROOM, BUT...

Everything was wonderful about the room, except for the odd location of the sink. The sink was not in the bathroom, but in the entrance way near the mini-fridge. With more than one person occupying the room, this was an inconvenience. Otherwise, service and cleanliness and amenities and location were all excellent!!

Location is perfect, ocean view from our balcony. Pool and hot tub on premises. Towels provided. Loved small kitchenette as a convenience especially for longer stays. Close proximity to great restaurants, coffee shops and shopping., all within short walking distance.Easy parking and access to our room. Bedrooms on the quiet side of the hotel to shut out noise from the active bar below (but enjoyed the music and beach vibe from our balcony.) The only negative was the comfort of the beds. Could not get comfortable and woke up with backaches.The matresses need to be replaced to ensure a good night's rest. Otherwise we would definitely plan a return visit!
