Though leaving to lodge in an inn for a night seemed brash, it was also their last option with everyone who could shelter them asleep or busy and nowhere to be found. If the guard denied them an exit, Harker would call the three of them sitting ducks, because if the guard did, they wouldn't have much luck elsewhere finding a place to rest for the night.
