In Alan Wake 2, Oceanview Hotel is a very complex and intriguing place in the Dark Place. It has a lot of enemies and has very difficult puzzles that might take you quite some time to figure out. You can also find a weapon outside the hotel and find some words of power inside and on your way to the hotel, too. The area is filled with secrets that will make you use different plot elements to find them as well.
