Default General info....
We were down to Savannah the last weekend in February and stayed at The Amethyst Inn at Sarah's Garden and was really disappointed in it. It had pretty much rave reviews on TripAdvisor but compared to a lot of other places we'd stayed it was kind of run down and breakfast was nothing to write home about - IMO. Granted we had one of the smaller rooms but it was REALLY tiny!

We didn't eat at Paula Deen's for dinner but we did have dessert there after walking around the riverfront. I had the pecan pie and it was DE-licious - I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. We ate at Tubby's Tankhouse on the riverfront. It's upstairs and you can sit outside and enjoy the nice view of the river and the convention center.

I'd definitely recommend taking one of the trolley tours. The one we took was 90 minutes long and once you finished the tour you were able to get off and wander around and then go to one of the trolley stops and they would take you to another one of their stops or back to your hotel/inn. That was nice - didn't have to deal with driving at all.
