The bellhop decides that because there are three men he will give them each one dollar back and keep two for himself.

The three men each receive the dollar back from the ten they gave, so each man has now paid 9 dollars each. Between them that now accounts for twenty seven dollars. So the bellhop has kept two dollars, that added to the 27 dollars the men have paid for the room, equals 29 dollars.

What happened to the remaining dollar?

That's a trick joke! Never heard it before, but there is no dollar missing. Someone twisted that statement around. Took a double take to realize what happened.
