I mean

room costs $30

but total found was $29

so I think they never paid $30

instead they pay $29

There was no money because : 

There is no missing dollar. The men spent $27. Of which $25 went on the room and $2 went to the light fingered bell boy. You can not add the $2 the bellboy has to the $27 the men spent as this $2 actually comes out of the $27 the men spent, the other $25 going on the room.

Put another way consider how the $30 breaks down:$25 — room
$3 (3x $1) — back to the men
$2 — Bellboy
