Don't know that area well, but have been to Savannah and Charleston several times. LOVE Charleston, a very charming, old southern town/city. My experience in Savannah was very mixed. They have a stretch (forget the name of the street/s) with many neat city parks - lots of old homes up and down that road. But if you get just a block or two off that historic stretch, it gets ugly real quick. My wife and I visited there maybe 8-10 years ago and stayed at a B&B two blocks off that main drag...scary! Drug dealers on porches. But just a few blocks away on the "cute" historic street, Robert Redford was filming a movie in one of the old antebellum homes - we saw him!
Nowadays I would assume TripAdvisor and other review sites could point you in the right direction; wasn't really an option for us back in the day.
