The original tale of the dreaded, haunted Overlook Hotel where underemployed Jack Torrance chases young Danny and wife Wendy while strange visions scare them! While now an old film, Jack Nicholson still puts in a stellar, over-the-top performance as the tormented Jack, who just wants to kill his family. A cautionary tale about the effects of isolation, mental illness, and alcoholism as well as an effective ghost story. Don't watch it alone.

Answer: It was The Gold Room. The skeletons are simply those of past guests: we never learn their identities.
Not the Gold Room. It's the lobby area you see earlier in the movie when they first get there and Jack is sitting in a chair reading a magazine.
