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.
That's my understanding. The ring only calls to the Nazgul if it's worn, so when Frodo Fell he basically fired a flair. In the bar itself they no longer received signals, so they went to the rooms they had booked.
Nope. They were tipped off.
Oh, is it actually mentioned that the guy who tipped them off saw which room they went to?
I don't think directly. I don't know how many hobbit rooms he had, I might check after work.
