Cheap motel around there? Also good restaurants around there

If you want to get some great fish, go to The Jolly Roger in Port Clinton!! Crosswinds is great too!!

Food wise cant beat big boppers in marblehead

Stop at the Visitor's Center on Rt 53 from the Route 6 exit. They usually have discount coupons.

Firelands winery had pizzas, snacks, and wine, of course!

The Galley is the best and is just minutes away from the Marblehead lighthouse. Great fish and homemade desserts!

I found a Hampton inn near the turnpike when I was there a few years ago. I know there a lot of choices. Guess it comes down to what you consider "cheap" is. But there are a tun of choices available to you.
