From what I read this pass is good for all local Osaka lines but NOT JR line. I'm assuming I can still get to the places I want to go without the JR line?
Along the same line of questions for transportation for the majority of days that I'll be hopping around and not in kyoto or kobe I plan on getting the "ecopass" for 800 yen for unlimited travel:

From what I gather from information that gives me access to non JR trains just like the amazing pass correct?
I know the hotel and while I've never been there, it appears to be quite nice and modern from the outside and what I can see of the entrance.
The pass is only good for Osaka city buses and the subway - it isn't good on JR, nor is it good on other railway lines (Keihan or Hankyu, for example).
