Can someone tell me where to find internet access in Beijing? Or point me to a website? (I'm having a difficult time finding one.)

Also - can anyone recommend a cheap hotel close to the main tourist sites in Beijing? Thank you!

We visited Beijing in November and stayed at the Taiwan Hotel. Location is central, just 1 minute walk to Wangfujing shopping street and 15-20 mins walk to Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City. For the price this was a pretty decent hotel (approx £30 per room per night).
There are many many internet cafe in Beijing, but most of them only have Chinese windows system, to foreigner I recommend you the internet cafe in the China International Trade Center, many foreigners like that place.
