IMPORTANT ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES THROUGHOUT OUR WEBSITE AND HOTEL
Our goal is to provide hospitality to all people who travel to San Francisco. This means everyone. Our mission is to make it as easy as possible for all people including those with hearing, vision, or any other disability to learn about our property and book their stay if they so desire.
If you have difficulty learning about or booking our hotel, we invite you to contact us via telephone or email and our friendly staff will gladly assist you.
Our historic buildings are over 100 years old and present architectural restrictions that limit our ability to accommodate guests with certain mobility impairments. Due to the historic nature of our small property, our property and accessible guest room is only partially accessible, with a limited door clearance of 28"; therefore, we cannot accommodate guests who utilize a standard wheel chair. This room has some accessibility features, including handrails by tub and toilet and closed-captioned television. While the parking area, garden areas and guest room itself are accessible, access to the private bath is limited. Our houses are 110 years old, and the main public rooms and reception area are not accessible. We deeply regret any disappointment that this may cause, and ask that prospective guests call the inn to speak with the manager on duty with specific questions about accessibility. Please review our website's dedicated accessibility webpage to learn more about our property's accessibility features.
We work very hard to provide an easy-to-use online experience for all guests. We believe all of our website visitors should be able to easily research online on https://www.parkerguesthouse.com regardless of device type and whether an individual requires assistive technology like a screen reader, font magnification, translation or voice recognition software.
To ensure this, Parker Guest House is committed to compliance with Level AA success criteria of the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1), an international standard measure of accessibility success. Our website and digital marketing has been developed after carefully parsing these particular guidelines and is continuously being enhanced to make our technology more accessible and user-friendly.
We have tested our hotel’s website to ensure that we meet or exceed Level AA checkpoints of the WCAG 2.1 Standard.
Our hotel website allows visitors to search for accessibility featured guest rooms with ease and details our property’s accessibility features on our Hotel Overview page which can be found here: https://www.parkerguesthouse.com/overview
