Boss refused to let us stay as travelling with a foreigner, even though the room was booked in foreigners name. Despite reminding boss of government policy allowing foreign guests to stay in any hotel (in any other country such policy would not be required as all hotels accept foreigners), and offering to assist with registration, still refused. In the end, had to ask police for help. Many guesthouses in zhenyuan (and guizhou) have similar problems refusing foreign travelers (even now, in 2025) but this boss was the most stubborn.
