Overnight stay in Shanghai outside airport

I am a US citizen traveling through Shanghai (on my way to Bangkok) in November but will be staying for one night outside of the airport. I want to confirm if I qualify for a visa exemption. Below is my itinerary:

Arrive in Shanghai on November 18th at 7:10pm
Stay at Hotel Mandarin Oriental Pudong (reservation under my sisters name)
Depart Shanghai on November 19th at 12pm

If you can please let me know if I can qualify for temporary stay permit? If so, is this an easy process?

Thanks for your help!

You can. The permit is issued when immigration is cleared. They'll need to see your onward ticket and hotel booking, plus the arrival/departure card.
