It's a myth that you have any options before you flying to China. There is none.
The spread sheets of Q hotels in Shanghai are just compiled by people who reported their experiences.
In almost all cases, the people in the waiting area will be sent to the same Q hotel.
It's completely random.
Done this three times in Shanghai and what you descirbed is what I experienced.
The three hotesl I experienced went from average > bad> terrible, and after the third experience, I puilled the plug and left China and parked in HK.
I must say the HK airport landing experience and the two quarantine (both 7-day) experiences were much better than my Shanghai quarantine experience. I have choice of hotels, and choice of menu for each meal.
