Where is the Oceanview Hotel code in Alan Wake 2?

In your rush to get inside the hotel, you'll likely smack your face against the door and bounce right off it. An easy-to-miss sign near the door advertises the 'Oceanview Cocktail' nearby, so following the red carpet that this sign points you towards would be a good start.

The carpet leads you to a bar, where you'll be expected to use Alan's lamp to light it up. This will let you explore a much more vibrant area where you should look out for any numbers that could potentially act as the four-digit code to the door.

Like many of the safes and crates littering Alan and Saga's paths, learning the Oceanview Hotel door code is a process of slowing down and looking for clues in your environment. In this case, the drinks menu holds the code (and some very expensive drinks) - you just need to know which drink to look for.

Remembering the sign from earlier and spotting a price outlier, the Oceanview Cocktail stands out. It costs 25.50, and that just so happens to be the door code. Return to the Oceanview Hotel's front door and enter code 2550 to get inside.
