Bride and maid of honor charging others for extra night for them.

I am going on a friend’s Bach trip this weekend. It is out of state so we are all flying in from different locations. When asking what time check in was the maid of honor, who is a close friend said oh just head over whenever I’ll be there decorating. My other friend asked again when check in is and she brushed it off and ignored the question in the chat. This raised a red flag for me bc when we paid for the Airbnb I noticed everyone (not including the bride) was charged an extra $60 or so. I assumed this was going to go to alcohol, food and decorations, maybe a cute gift for everyone to match. Now I suspect since the maid of honor and bride are getting in a day early that they are staying at the same Airbnb and we are all paying for an extra night for them. This rubs me the wrong way since it is sneaky and since those other things will now be an extra expense. $60 is not going to break the bank for me but I know others don’t make as much and are unaware, it’s more about the sneakiness for me. I don’t want to cause drama but I also don’t want to have to pay even more money for things I assumed were being covered with that extra money. Maid of honor and bride have done surprise you owe me this much in the past for another friends Bach without consulting people they wanted them to contribute (think spending over $300 on dips and snack food for six people, most of which was not touched). Should I bring it up indirectly like what time was early check in that’s great they let you in this morning or where did yall stay last night was it far?or just ignore it?
