From the fan wiki description of the motel:
"The Oceanview Motel & Casino is a Place of Power connecting between various different locations. The Federal Bureau of Control theorizes it to be a gateway to alternate dimensions and Thresholds. "

The Signal dlc is Alan going crazy in the dark place trying to write his way out.
