(They said they were going to try to get a free hotel room so they could watch the Tour de France.) Next morning, they said they would stop by to meet me. Again I waited, and finally gave up.

The whole experience reminds me why my Warm Showers page gives 4 weeks notice as a requirement to stay here.
I neglected to mention that these 'cause' tourers didn't contact me through Warm Showers. I'm simply mentioning them to point out that the OP isn't alone in having such rudeness thrust upon him.
