I've stayed a few places in Savannah, our favorite is the very quirky but inexpensive Thunderbird Inn. You will need a sense of adventure to stay there, but it is fun.
I highly recommend the wonderful Hearse Tour while you are there. Tons of fun and definitely a drinking rather than history tour. Savannah is a party town, with lots of good music and things to do.
Living in Chucktown, we don't stay anywhere downtown, obviously, but years ago after the hurricane, we stayed for weeks at the Mills House hotel when we couldn't get home until they rebuilt the bridge to our island!
Give me a shout when you make plans, we'll be happy to take you out for beers. A few others on the forum can vouch for us that we aren't axe murderers. Maybe.
Check out Folly Beach when you make your Charleston plans. Fun beach town with casual places to eat and drink. Walking tours of downtown Charleston are good, as are the carriage rides if you are historically inclined. I also like to tell people to take one of the harbor tours, either on a sailboat or one of the Fort Sumter ones.
Of course I note that none of the folks that have actually met me IRL have piped up with some confirmation. Fuego, Finance Dude, Seng, etc..Nothing here, except if Sarah is not an ax murderer, that is a huge bonus. Sounds worth the risk of a few beers to me!
Lots of restaurants close on Sunday and Monday nights. They don't do that everywhere? When else are F&B peeps gonna get their weekend? I'd say in Charleston you can still find places catering to tourists that are open 7 days, but might be hard in Savannah unless you walk dine to River Street.

Good point. We'll eat at your place those nights LOL
I forgot to mention that we are traveling with 2 teenagers. I think they would like to go to Fort Sumter and a plantation. Other things for teens to do would be nice to know.
Thanks for all the responses so far, giving me something to dig into.
