Som of the options I've found are:
New World Courtyard -

Holiday Inn Downtown -

I'm looking for advice on these hotels, and suggestions on other hotels where I can get a good discounted rate.
Thanks in advance!

We stayed at the New World Courtyard for a little over a week back in March. We liked it -- it's not particularly beautiful or luxurious, and the rooms are a tiny bit run down (not unlike Courtyards I've stayed in in the US), but it was clean, quiet and comfortable, with a very helpful and friendly staff, and it's in a very good location -- you're a couple of minute taxi ride from most places of interest to visitors in Beijing. Ours was an award stay, but Marriott was quoting $105/night rights while we were there.
We'd definitely stay there again when we return to Beijing.
