My understanding is they will hatch at room temperature if left undisturbed (correct me if I'm wrong) As I have a couple of eggies on the way hopefully. but I don't know if I should remove the eggs or the parents could someone please help

Just leave them be. Room temp is fine. They are very easy to hatch, in fact it is proberbly the overkill that harms them. Just leave them as they are (pick em up if you wish, they have hard shells and it doesnt harm them). Marbled geckos are very easy to keep. They are independant when they hatch, feed them baby crickets (really small, size of pin head, I brush them from the tub into a separate bowl so I can see how many I have for the feed). Marbled Geckos dont have histories of caninbalism. They intergrate with each other very well. I kept the babies with the adults (both related and non-related). Apart from a bluey pit when I was younger, these were my first attempt at keeping herps outside their natural enviroment.

I hatched 3 this year.

I got them out of there enclosure put them in a plastic container in sand and then inside another container with a little water then i put the lid on (the lid had holes to allow air in and out) I then stuck the container in one of my snake enclosures at 29-30 degrees on thermostat and hoped for the best.

They all hatched.

So as long as you keep them warm they will be fine.

NO NEED FOR AN INCUBATOR
