I wonder if the fact that it was night was a factor..... with reference to Davem's point about the Nazgul attack ..... because you could look at it the other way and say that on other occasions they were restrained.... I mean they didn't kill any hobbits they encountered when looking for "baggins" as I recall .... not that they needed to ....but they would have not risked much in the way of reprisals... but when they are in inn they attack all the beds ..... less risk of commotion maybe if they kill all..... hmm
