I haven't read the book yet, so I don't know if this scene is explained further (or if it's even in the book), but one thing I've thought about lately is, how the Hell did they pull that off? Like, what made the Nazgul go to that room, instead of the one where the ring that supposedly calls to them is actually located?
The only thing that really makes sense to me is if the Hobbit Gang already rented a room for themselves, and the Nazgul got the info from the barkeep, who didn't know they were with Aragorn.
The Nine likely knew that The Ring was being held by a halfling ("Shire, Baggins"). So they went to "nice, cozy, hobbit-sized rooms" the barkeep mentioned earlier.
