Here, you don't need an adjective like "affordable." It's an ideal place for leisure or business, whatever your budget may be.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Exactly as Ysabel says: the range covers from the most expensive to the cheapest.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Ysabel812: This is a good expression, but I'm not sure it gets across the fact that the place is also suitable for wealthy big spenders. I don't think we should put too much emphasis on "affordability" as there may be 5-star hotels as well as 1-stars.
30 mins
  -> the idea is still that it's so affordable (i.e. cheap); regardless of whether you're rich or poor, it fits the bill. Who says the rich don't have a budget? That's how they make and save their money by setting parameters!

Asker: A good expression, but it misses the idea that the range goes from the most expensive to the cheapest. Thanks anyway.
