Mind Teaser

My Boss sent me this the other day. It took me a few hours.

Three men get a hotel room one night that costs $30; they each pay $10. The hotel manager decides to reduce the bill, so he gives the bell boy $5 to return to the men. The bell hop gives each man $1 and keeps $2 as a tip for himself. So, if each man paid $9 for a total of $27 and the bell hop kept $2, then where did the extra dollar go?
