The portrayal of Bree

I would like to begin by saying that I love the movie and don't really mind the differences from the book. One thing I did NOT like however was the way they did Bree and the Prancing Pony in particular. In the books the Prancing Pony seems to be a very nice place. Hob and Nob are great and there are Hobbits in the main room. People are friendly for the most part. In the movie the Inn is dark and gothic, quite unsettling. Does any one else think they portrayed it wrong?
