The visitors went close again on the half-hour as Darren Oldaker's long-range effort flew just over with Marosi at full stretch.
Tranmere's best chance came just before the break but Charlie Whitaker's effort rolled narrowly wide.
After the interval, Oldaker again tested Marosi, who also denied Fletcher Holman and Jamie Knight-Lebel as Town pushed forward.
Just as it looked like the points would be shared, substitute Hoilett struck in stoppage time to seal victory for the visitors.
