You can take BART from SFO to downtown SF. I'm not sure which Marriott you're talking about (there are several) but if you look on a map, the Bart stations in downtown SF run down Market Street - you could always grab a cab from a Bart station to your hotel or just take a cab direct from SFO - not sure but maybe about $30 for cab fare? Quite a few hotels have shuttle services as well - just depends on your price point. For highest ease/convenience - I'd just take a cab.

Last year I stayed at the Marriott downtown and I went to the airport via a shuttle service set up by the hotel.
You may want to call the Marriott that your staying at and ask them about arrangements for such a shuttle service.

If you are staying at the Marriott on 55 Fourth Street then BART is very convenient as it is three blocks to the Powell St. station. The BART system is fast and convenient - half hr. trip from the airport without having to wait for a shuttle - and costs a little less than $5. If your hotel is a distance away from a BART station you may be better off with a shuttle. To check the BART schedule http://www.bart.gov/index.asp

If you are talking about the Marriott in Union Sq, you can definitely take the BART. I stayed there just 2 months ago and did exactly that (assuming you are flying into SFO airport, not Oakland or San Jose).
At SFO, you'll have to take the AirTrain from your terminal to the BART station. Then take the BART to Powell St Station (no change of train required). The Marriott is about 2 blocks from the station. The fare one-way is $4.95. The BART runs 3x/hr and the trip takes 30mins. It took me total 1hr 15mins (from the time the plane landed to the time I arrived to the hotel).
