* In the Sixth ''Literature/{{Spellsinger}}'' novel "Time of the Transference" in which Jon-Tom and Mudge are sleeping in a free lodging by a rather Cajun-like village. They are woken up in the middle of the night by a Raccoon, who warns them that the leader of village is going to double-cross them and rat them out to a band of pirates while they sleep.

** Somewhat averted in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald on one of the routes an old lady suggests you spend the night, well, okay. As soon as you wake up she suggests you spend the night again, this repeats infinitely until you say no. As suspicious as it seems, that's all it is suspicious. She doesn't rob you she just enjoys you spending the night. Which thinking about it too hard could fall into FridgeHorror.
* Not an inn, but your party camp effectively serves as one in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. About 2/3 of the way through the game, Shrieks will attack you in the camp, one of the few times every party member can participate in a combat [[ArbitraryHeadcountLimit at the same time]]. There's additional plot revelation if you're a Dalish elf.

* In the fifth ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' light novel, Lina is enjoying a peaceful stay at an inn when Mazenda tries to kill her by burning the whole building down. She escapes by jumping out a window.

* In ''VideoGame/{{MOTHER|1}}'', sleeping in the hotel in Spookanne/Halloween is free... but you have to fight a Starman in the morning, and, since the Starman was disguised as the innkeeper, you can never spend the night there again.
** There is also a variation in ''VideoGame/EarthBound'', where zombies take over the local TraumaInn to trap you there. But they don't wait for you to go to sleep.

The most obvious sign of Inn Security segment is when party members make a big deal about resting somewhere, or the inn {{NPC}}s make a big deal about having party members rest in the Inn.
