Hotel refusal guests transit visa free

Hi, I would like to visit Shanghai for few days. I am travelling AMS - PVG - DMK, so following the ABC transit logic. When making an online hotel reservation for Shanghai I am getting below response which confuses me a lot..Am i not allowed to stay in hotel, can I be refused as guest ? Kindly clarify!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
According to the law of EXIT&ENTRY ADMINISTRATION MINISTRY of PUBLIC SECURITY OF SHANGHAI, all tourists must check-in and register on the Reception with the valid visa. If not, you should bear all the responsibility.
The hotel will not accept reservations with transit visa-free from now on.

重要通知:
根据上海出入境管理局有关规定,所有入境旅客均需在酒店前台办理入住及登记手续。如不办理,后果自负。
本酒店自即日起无法接受过境免签证客人的预订。

You need to find a new hotel. This one clearly states that travelers without a visa will not be allowed to stay on premises. An educated guess is probably because someone used this hotel while overstaying their entry permit and hence the hotel got sanctioned by the police.

Let me guess, New Harbour Serviced Apartments? Its true they refuse to register those traveling on TWOV. You will need to select a different Hotel as you wont be able to convince them otherwise.

No, it's not. This has happened several time when people have tried to book at New Harbour Serviced Apartments. They are definitely rejecting the passengers in visa free transit through Shanghai, but the vast majority of accommodations simply don't care about this detail. I assume that New Harbour Serviced Apartments had some problems with the police because one or more their guests might have overstayed their allowed transit time.
