Picky sleeper
Hotel was right at the beach which was great; unfortunately, our room faced the parking lot. I am a fanatic when comes to bedding. The fitted sheets were not at all fitted. I’m a restless sleeper so the sheets were constantly rolling up. Very uncomfortable for me.

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.
