Getting here
Savannah Airport website is very helpful, including taxi rates to lots of hotels and other ground transportation.
Hotel accommodations
Visit Savannah's site for finding a place to stay. You can search or browse by location and type of accomodation.
Thunderbird Inn is a known as a funky, cheaper place to stay on the east edge of downtown Savannah. Easy to walk everywhere but still affordable.
Tips:
- Historic downtown will be the most convenient place to stay and be a tourist. Tons of stuff is within walking distance. However, it is usually the most expensive.
- Mid-town/Southside will probably be cheaper, but you will need a car to get to anything interesting.
- Tybee is a good option for the beach-lovers, but will also require a car.
- I don't recommend the Westside and surrounding towns- too far and difficult to navigate.
- Camping at Skidaway Island State Park is lovely.
Driving and Parking
On-street parking and garages are available downtown. You only need to pay parking meters 8am-5pm Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).
