Adventure Inn

Fostering collaboration with local community partners to address housing insecurity.

The Community Investment Alliance is excited to announce that it is currently in the process of acquiring the Adventure Inn Motel located in Durango, Colorado. Since the 1940s, The Adventure Inn has been a community-based motel, providing a comfortable and welcoming place for travelers and locals alike. The Alliance is committed to preserving the legacy of The Adventure Inn and continuing its tradition of offering safe, quality lodging to the community. Our goal is to maintain this beloved establishment as a local motel, ensuring that it remains accessible for local bookings and continues to be a vital part of the Durango community. We look forward to serving our community’s lodging needs for many years to come.

Furthermore, The Community Investment Alliance is dedicated to fostering collaboration with local community partners to address the pressing issue of housing insecurity. We are committed to working closely with these partners to ensure that they have access to a pool of safe and quality temporary rooms at The Adventure Inn Motel. This collaboration aims to provide a lifeline for families and seniors in our community who are facing housing insecurity. Together with our community partners, we are dedicated to creating a supportive and caring environment for all those who call Durango home.
