I lived in Osaka for 6 years.
Awesome place, awesome people, awesome food!
Cant offer any advice on hotels - unless of course we are talking love hotels;)
Just to give you some idea about apartments in the northern suburbs of Osaka, two bedroom apartments start from around 75,000 a month, depending on how close you want to be to a railway station(and what line its on).
These are modern apartments, but perhaps small by western standards (total floorspace of 50-60m2).
The bond will cost you anywhere from 20,000 to 60,000 yen and you generally get around half back (based on the contract)
I lived about 30 mins away from Itami (by car, on the expressway) in a place called Neyagawa. A 3 storey house close to the local town centre (10 mins walk) cost me 100,000 yen a month, which included a parking space.
Dunno if you speak/read the lingo but here are some examples with floorplans.
Brand new 15mins bus from Senri-chuou (Quite a nice area I believe) 92,000yen/mth (http://www.forrent.jp/house/cgi-bin/fr/frbukken.cgi?BA=FR&AR=060&SE=040&GA=000210&MG=000030&RG=000032&PG=000032&TEMP1=K^09|M^5|S^002735|S^002010|BA^FR|AR^060|CB^0|CT^999999 9|GA^000032|MG^000030|PG^000032|PN^1|PS^50|RG^000032|SE^040| SM^0|TC^1,746|SO^1|COUNT_SHU_CD^06&BC=060_H_000070723320&PN=1&CP=&TC=73&SM=0&SO=1&OS=1&OK=&SW=&EL=&EM=大?繝ｃmレ?[ル&IM=&TA=&UM=)

Brand new 2 bedroom apartment 15 minute walk from Setsu, on the airport monorail line 75,000yen/mth (http://www.forrent.jp/house/cgi-bin/fr/frbukken.cgi?BA=FR&AR=060&SE=040&GA=000210&MG=000030&RG=000032&PG=000032&TEMP1=K^09|M^5|S^002735|S^002010|BA^FR|AR^060|CB^0|CT^999999 9|GA^000032|MG^000030|PG^000032|PN^1|PS^50|RG^000032|SE^040| SM^0|TC^1,746|SO^1|COUNT_SHU_CD^06&BC=060_H_000071665963&PN=1&CP=&TC=73&SM=0&SO=1&OS=1&OK=&SW=&EL=&EM=大?繝ｃmレ?[ル&IM=&TA=&UM=)

Try a "gaijin house" or maybe even a "weely mansion" for a medium term stay - 60,000 and up I think.
Enjoy
