i just returned from China.Booked everything on Expedia.com.In Shanghai I would recommend staying at Celebrity Apartment Hotel.50$ for 2 bedroom suite.Amazing new hotel.Taxi rates are very cheap in China.so travel by taxi.In Beijing we stayed at Holiday Inn Shangdi.Shangdi is in suburbs and has a subway line next to the hotel.It was cheaper compared to downtown hotels.may be 50-70 $ for one night.One tip-Purchase water in bulk from Dept store to save money.In Beijing there is a walmart where u can get water at 0.90 yuan otherwise you spend 3-4 yuan at tourist places.

I would recommend Kapok Hotel in Beijing; and Salvo Hotel, Donghu Hotel or City Hotel in Shanghai. Not sure about what your budget requirements are.
