Marriott's mistake, because that's not downtown. "South of Market" would be most accurate. Traditionally "downtown" was synonymous with "Union Square." But there's been lots of fudging on the traditional neighborhood names in recent years, with misnomers like "lower nob hill" (tenderloin) or "lower pacific heights" (western addition).
