And the ppl in the hotel were playing a trick on the daughter. What was that story called? Room 501? and which scary stories book was it in?

Answer 1

In most versions of this famous story, a sibling or mother has the plague, and to avoid panic and any loss for the hotel, the staff, police and a doctor set up the woman to go across the town for a useless medicine, telling her that her mother is simply sick. The mother dies while she is gone, and a crew bury her, refurnish her room, all in secrecy with a warning that they'd be fired should they reveal the truth. When the woman comes back, the doctor, manager and desk clerk pretend not to know who she is and show her the different room. It was as if her mother and the hotel room never existed. In other versions, the women bribes a person into spilling the beans. Some claim that all versions are based on true accounts as early as the 19th century, both in London and the US. But for others, it is just an urban myth.

It is based on the same story told in Alvin Schwartz's "Scary Stories 3" as "Maybe You'll Remember".

Answer 2

The story is titled "Maybe You Will Remember" and it appeared in Scary Stories 3.
