I think I remember PJ or someone else involved in the movie saying that they did not think that the ringwraiths attacked the room, and that they only put it in because it would be more dramatic in a movie. If the people who put the ringwraiths attacking the inn into the movie say that it wasn't them, I'd say that that was proof enough that it wasn't the ringwraiths who attacked the room.
However, after reading this thread I think its possible that they were there, even if they didn't do the actual attack.

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

And this is why I love The Lord of the Rings so much! Having read the books so many times I had never noticed this discrepancy until now. All the points made in this thread are really interesting. And yet again I find something new in a book I thought I knew so well. Thanks guys and gals.

I don't mean to confuse the books with the movies, but wasn't there something about the Nazgul being stronger when closer to Mordor? I can't remember if/when it was mentioned in the books.
