Our Commitment to Accessibility

The Roger Sherman Inn is committed to providing a welcoming and accessible experience for all of our guests, visitors, and members of the public, including individuals with disabilities.

This commitment extends to our physical hospitality services as well as our digital presence at www.rogershermaninnct.com.

We believe that everyone should be able to obtain information about our accommodations, dining, weddings, private events, special occasions, and other services and should have reasonable access to the functionality and content available through our Website.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we are committed to continually reviewing and improving the accessibility and usability of our digital content.

 

Digital Accessibility Standards

As part of our accessibility efforts, we aim to design, develop, maintain, and improve our Website with reference to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

These guidelines provide recommendations intended to make digital content more accessible to individuals with a wide range of disabilities and accessibility needs.

Our accessibility efforts may include, as appropriate:

• Providing meaningful alternative text for informative images

• Maintaining appropriate heading structures

• Supporting keyboard navigation

• Providing sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds

• Using clear and descriptive links and buttons

• Properly labeling Website forms and form fields

• Supporting reasonable compatibility with commonly used screen readers and assistive technologies

• Avoiding unnecessary barriers to users who navigate without a mouse

• Maintaining readable text and logical page structures

• Providing accessible error messages and form instructions where reasonably possible

• Reviewing new Website content and functionality with accessibility considerations in mind

Because accessibility standards, assistive technologies, browsers, devices, and Website content continue to evolve, our accessibility efforts are ongoing.

 

Ongoing Accessibility Efforts

The Roger Sherman Inn recognizes that digital accessibility is not a one-time project.

We may periodically review Website pages, content, forms, navigation, images, integrations, and other functionality to identify and address potential accessibility barriers.

As the Website changes, new content and features may be added. We endeavor to incorporate accessibility considerations into those updates and to remediate accessibility issues that are brought to our attention.

While we strive to provide an accessible digital experience, we cannot guarantee that every Website page, element, or feature will be completely accessible to every user or compatible with every assistive technology at all times.

If you encounter an accessibility issue, we encourage you to contact us so that we can assist you and evaluate the issue.

 

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our Website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, platforms, reservation systems, maps, social-media services, payment services, or other technologies that are not owned, operated, or controlled by the Roger Sherman Inn.

For example, certain lodging reservations or other transactions may be completed through third-party booking or reservation platforms.

Although we encourage our service providers and business partners to provide accessible experiences, we do not control the accessibility features, policies, code, content, or functionality of independent third-party websites and services.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier involving a third-party service accessed through our Website, you are welcome to contact us. Where reasonably possible, we will attempt to assist you in accessing the information or service through an alternative method.

We will make reasonable efforts to provide the information, communication, or assistance you need through an alternative method that is accessible to you.

Depending on your request, this may include assistance by telephone, email, or direct communication with a member of our team.

 

Physical Accessibility and Accommodations

Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond our Website.

Guests and visitors who require accessibility-related accommodations in connection with lodging, dining, weddings, private events, or other services are encouraged to contact the Roger Sherman Inn directly before their visit or reservation.

Because the availability and suitability of particular accommodations may depend on the guest room, event space, dining area, service, or individual circumstances involved, contacting us directly allows our team to better understand your needs and discuss available options.

If you have questions concerning accessible accommodations, entrances, guest rooms, dining arrangements, event spaces, parking, or other aspects of your visit, please contact us before arrival whenever possible.

We will make reasonable efforts to assist guests with disabilities and to provide appropriate accommodations consistent with applicable law.

 

Assistive Technologies and Browser Compatibility

The Website is intended to support access through a variety of modern browsers, devices, and assistive technologies.

Individual experiences may vary depending on factors including:

• Browser type and version

• Operating system

• Device

• Screen reader or other assistive technology

• User accessibility settings

• Third-party software

• Internet connection

• Website updates

For the best experience, users may benefit from maintaining current versions of their browser, operating system, and assistive technology.

However, use of a particular browser or technology is not required to contact us for assistance.

 

Accessibility Feedback

We welcome feedback regarding the accessibility of our Website and services.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please let us know. Providing specific information about the issue can help us investigate and address the problem more effectively.

When contacting us about a Website accessibility issue, it may be helpful to provide:

• The Website page or URL where you encountered the issue

• A brief description of the problem
