Top hotels in Iwaoka
Kobe Portopia Hotel
The room was dirty, very obvious stains, and hair in obvious places. Was not thoroughly cleaned. Bathtub was dirty to the point I did not want to take a bath in it. The bed was clean though.

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel
Every aspect was superb. But with only one negative and its the shower's water pressure. Last three stays, water pressure was below average. Disappointing especially for an executive room.

Himeji Station Universal Hotel South Exit
Should be one of the cheapest hotels in Himeji area. Meals are provided but I felt like they're worse than in jail (I've never been to jail, though). If you're looking for budgetary hotel, this is the right place.
