Though both Fes and Marrakech are awesome places to visit, my suggestion (if you have to pick one) is to stick with Fes. Marrakech has a decided tourist feel to it.

Moroccans are generally warm people, though you will probably remain a tourist in their eyes. This won't be a problem, but it will be a barrier to getting a true feel for the culture. A good way to counter that is to park yourself in a cafe, enjoy a good waterpipe, and try to make friends.

The past couple of visits I have made to Fes, I stayed at the Riad Boujloud. Recommended.
