One time on vacation, I was able to rent 1/3 of a room in a college
dormitory, when the school didn't have enough students to fill the dorm.
I was 61 years old, 40+ years older than those the building was bought
for (though there were others beyond college age, still younger than I).
It was a great place to stay and 8 years later I wanted to stay there
again, so I wrote and they wrote back that I was too old. I told them I
can get letters attesting to how juvenile I am, like from a 25 year old
friend of mine. (but they also said they had more students by then and
no room.)
I can still get those letters. Now juvenile isn't the same as
infantile, but I still don't feel insulted.
On another trip, I was 70 and my roommates were 38. We got along fine.
