I too got a call at the Holiday Inn in Beijing - didn't worry about it. Getting a phone number is one thing - getting a key to a room is another.
Stay at the Yangtze in Shanghai - great, modern hotel. Awesome location (very very close to People's Square subway station) and price and friendly staff with good English skills.
