Spanish term or phrase: accesible a todos los bolsillos

Talking about a place being good for all price ranges.

"X es el lugar ideal para una escapada de placer o de negocios accesible a todos los bolsillos."

I just can't come up with a snappy idiom for this.

whatever your budget may be.

Explanation:
This is a common expression in marketing. For example, wedding dresses:

http://www.my-wedding-blog.com/your-dream-wedding-dress.html
"It is not difficult to get an angelic look with such a wide range of dream wedding dress ideas for designs. You can expect to look like a princess in your dream wedding dress no matter whatever your budget may be."

or televisions:

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