Savannah Ga

Want to spend a long weekend (four days) in Savannah the middle to end of May.

Got any suggestions on where to stay that is very nice and quiet. Also, do we need to rent a car while there?

Did you want to stay in the Historic District or at the Beach? A resort type place?

Whether or not you rent a car depends on whether or not you want to go somewhere that you can%26#39;t walk to.

We really need a little more information.

yea the first decision is savannah proper or the beach right outside of tow. (tybee)

we do downtown.

its very neat.

Nothing near the strip is quiet, but that is where most of the restaurants, nightspots are and shopping is there too. You can walk much farther than the maps indicate, although in May%26#39;s heat, you need to be used to the southern humidity. Parking was very easy in many of the squares, even though it did mean going through a lot of coin. If you want quiet, you%26#39;ll need to sacrifice something. There are some lovely hotels and B%26amp;B%26#39;s away from the crowds, but they can be more costly than the strip hotels. Whatever you do, stay away from the construction area near the old news building. It is horrible. You can stay outside of town, toward Tybee or Charleston, or south, but that will mean you%26#39;ll need a car.

By the way, we were there during the house tour in March, and 3 days was more than enough. We saw Tybee (though we didn%26#39;t stay on the windy beach for long - too chilly.) We went to Bonaventure too.

I couldn%26#39;t receommend Old Savannah Trolley Tour. It was boring and wasted too much time. You can%26#39;t really see much driving by. I would recommend a walking tour instead, just choose a topic that interests you.

We ate at 17 Hundred 90 because it was recommended on this site. Neither the service nor the food was memorable. For $102, we could have done much better elsewhere.

We also ate at the Olde Pink House. We were upstairs in a simple room. We had a great waiter, charming. The food was good, just nothing special.

Bear in mind, however, that my husband and I really enjoy good food and have traveled extensively. It is possible that those two restaurants were the best Savannah has to offer.

By way of comparison, we ate at 82 Queen in Charleston and loved the ambiance, service, and the food.

We did have breakfast and lunch at B Matthews. They are not the original owners, but we enjoyed both meals in a very informal but comfortable setting.

Wishing you a safe, fun trip,

Just spent two nights in the Savannah historic district last week. I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express. We were pleasantly surprised with how up to date and clean it was. The staff made us feel very welcome. Can%26#39;t go wrong!
