Anybody here been to Savannah, GA?

Rich and I have definitely decided to stop there for hte night on our way down to the ship. Looking for a decent hotel just closer to 95. Going through the hotels America's Best seems cheapest, But if anybody's got any suggestions I'll take them.

Well, by the time she gets to us, it will be just a LOT of rain, which on one hand we need, and on the other, we have had so little rain in the last month that the ground is very dry and the water will just wash off. And when you live where the hills are, water runs down hill and either erodes the ground or fills the valleys and then we have flooding! If it's a slow steady rain, it might not be bad, but we have been through this before and it's usually a pretty significant rain that will cause flooding!!! thankfully, this house is not in the flood plan and at one of the highest elevations for our neighborhood. The kids like to sled down the hill in front of our house when it snows.

gosh I hope it wont be too much though!!!!!!!

The times we drove down, we stopped in Orangeburg, SC. We have not been to Savannah yet. We will be there on New Years Eve though! Sorry I can't help you now though. I usually go with a name brand that I know. Although, I have been burned that way too. We were staying at, was it Comfort Inn?, and when we opened the door to the room, I almost turned around and walked out. But it was 2am, the boys were asleep in our arms and we were beat. I just prayed that the dead body under the bed didn't start to smell soon! Yes, it was THAT wretched!!!

We've been to Savannah several times, but have not stayed near the interstate... however, we have found Holiday Inn Express and Mariott to be the nicest of any. Have never stayed in an America's Best. Savannah is a lovely city and deserves more than a night there! I could spend a couple of weeks there! I love it.

Big Red may be able to help you more with the motels. He's our travel agent!!!!

OOH that is bad.

Where is Orangeburg? MOstly we're looking for aplce close to 95 for the drive down. On the drive home we amy go off the beaten path a bit and hit Chrleston, SC or maybe Myrtle Beach.

If you are not going into Savannah, I would stay a little further down the road. Anything close to Savannah will be more expensive, don't you think???

I think we're looking for something between Red Roof Inn(no one I know has ever had anything nice to say about that 1) and nice. The Holiday Inn Express was the first that came up. WOW! was that expensive.

That thought crossed my mind, but we really needed the shower as we were meeting people the next day! LOL and we still talk about that too! You had to step really high to get into the tub and then Steve hit his head because there was some piece of wood that that was like a header across the length of the shower. It didn't make any sense at all. AND there was a door at the back of the room. we didn't open it because we were sure if it opened to the outside or another room!!! I am 100% absotively posilutley sure that those rooms rented by the hour too!!! I just the heeby jeebies just THINKING that we stayed there! ACK!

Actually I was looking for up the road in SC but really didn't find anything, at least not on their website. Was thinking Charleston, but that's 1.5 hrs out of the way Richard though. He was there last year. Maybe on the way back we'll do that.

My parents stop there every year, and they say that hotels closer to 95 are much cheaper than in the city. So I think we'll go that route, and drive into the city nadh ave a look see b4 finishing the drive. Rich figures its only about 4 hrs more to the port from there.

Anything near Savannah is going to be expensive!! I would get no closer than Hardeeville, SC. on the north side, or get to or past Richmond Hill, GA, in the south. Even that is near Ft. Stewart, might need to go a little further south.....Still looking.....
