I think they seem like horrible people. They didn't know you, nor did they know your reason for coming there. And even so, people can go wherever they want. That's why you can rent rooms. Shame on them, and I hope they feel bad about it. Especially since they are making the experience worse for new people.
I hope it's not people I know... I'm glad that you decided to give it another shot though!
