A co-worker and myself are attending a conference in Hilton Head in early May and then plan to spend two days in Savannah. While we would love to stay at a B&B in the historic district, I fear it may be a bit too pricey. Does anyone have any suggestions for a hotel close to the historic district that would meet our needs? Something nice, clean, and close enough to give us that Savannah feeling. We will be renting a car so transportation isn't really an issue. I have checked the internet, and I don't know which is better, midtown? downtown?. Any suggestions for restaurants or sightseeing would also be appreciated.

Thanks so much! Marcia Buffalo, New York
