I took this image of The Palms Motor Hotel sign from within the motel's parking lot, facing north towards the sign. I knelt down behind a parked car and played with the sign's reflection in the car's windshield to get this perspective. By light rail: - Nearest station: Overlook Park MAX Station (MAX Yellow Line) - Head north on N Interstate Ave/Pacific Hwy W for 486 feet - The Palms Motor Hotel will be on your left Address: The Palms Motor Hotel, 3801 N Interstate Ave, Portland, OR 97227
