There is no missing dollar. 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5. Each guest paid 9 dollars. You are assuming that the bellboy paid 2 dollars, which is not true. The bellboy paid nothing.
If you want to account for the 30 dollars, you need to add up all of the money received. The hotel received 25 dollars, the guests each received 1 dollar and the bellboy received 2 dollars. 25 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 30.
