WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY POLICY
ADA COMPLIANCE POLICY
We believe all of our visitors should be able to easily shop online on easily,
use our smartphone app and access all of our other Websites and digital
offerings, regardless of whether one needs assistive technologies
like screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software or switch
technology.
We strive to provide an excellent online experience for all guests. We believe
all of our visitors should be able to use our website easily. This aligns with
our core value of using our collective intelligence to invent technology and
create products that simplify and improve travel for our customers and
partners. We are committed to providing an accessible and easy-to-use website
for our customers. We aim to make our website content and services
accessible to the widest audience possible. We are committed to including
the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 of the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) in our product design process. We recognize that WCAG
is always evolving and so must we as we continue to meet these standards.
Our hotel has the appropriate policies, best practices, and procedures in
place to ensure that individuals with disabilities can make reservations for
accessible guest rooms during the same hours and in the same manner as
individuals who do not need accessible rooms.
As part of our reservation processes, we:
● Ensure that accessible guest rooms are held for use by individuals with
disabilities until all other guest rooms of that type have been rented
and the accessible room requested is the only remaining room of that
type
● Reserve, upon request, accessible guest rooms or specific types of
guest rooms and ensure that the guest rooms requested are blocked
and removed from all reservations systems; and
● Guarantee that the specific accessible guest room reserved through its
reservations system is held for the reserving guest, regardless of
whether a specific room is held in response to reservations made by
others.
If you require any assistance with booking your reservation, please contact
us directly via email, phone, or social media, which you will find on our
contact us page.
If you have questions or would like to report an issue relating to the
accessibility of this Website, please email Motel 6 Corporate. Be sure to include
specifics and any
page where an issue has occurred. We will make every reasonable effort to
make the page accessible for you.
We have made efforts to design this website to be fully accessible to all and
is designed according to W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
2.0 and conforms to most priority checkpoints which entail some of the
elements listed in this document.
We are also making every effort to meet evolving accessibility standards, including
those set forth in 36 CFR Parts 1193 and 1194 (January 18, 2017).
We are committed to making our website accessible and inclusive for people with
disabilities. We believe in access to knowledge, no matter what sort of physical barrier a
user may have. We are designing our website to be accessible to impaired users to
navigate, understand, see, and interact. We strive to implement the World Wide Web
Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA (“WCAG 2.0 AA”), and
EN 301 549 to the best of our ability. Our hotel is committed to making our
services and products accessible to everyone. We have a website accessibility team
and are making continued improvements to our website to make it easier for persons
with disabilities to use.
Here are a few of the improvements we are currently making to our website:
Language Tagging
Each page on our website is compatible with language information-assist systems,
including audible speak-back softwares and Braille translators. You can use these forms
of information assistance on any page on our site. We are also working to provide sign
language interpretation and prerecorded audio content in synchronized media as an
alternative to text.
More Label Tags
We have more labels and titles to make it easier to find things and to use less
keystrokes in getting around our website.
Image Text Alternatives
We have added missing label tags on images throughout our website to make it easier
for persons with visual or cognitive disabilities to find information on our site. We are
working to have a corresponding image for every page on our website that you can use
as an alternative to text. We are making every reasonable effort to make the images
functional so you can find the content you are looking for quickly. We are also making it
possible to find content without having to distinguish among colors.
Easier Keyboard Access
We have made it easier to use the keyboard on our website, a functionality we will
continue to improve so that you can find what you are looking for easier.
Resizing Text
We are making it easier to change the text size and font style and the space between
lines to make our website more user-friendly. Large-scale text and images of
large-scale text will have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1. We are also adding a zoom
feature so you can make images even larger when needed.
Video and Audio Controls
We are adding easy to find controls for prerecorded audio and visual content.
Navigation Shortcuts
Call us to understand how website can be navigated by using the tab key to
traverse the elements of each page and by using the enter key to activate a
highlighted link.
Structured, Semantic Markup
HTML heading tags are used to convey document structure. Navigation
menus are tagged as HTML maps so that the menu title can be read out, and
the menu items are presented as a group. Please see our Site Map for easy
navigation.
Images Visibility
Whenever possible and appropriate, we have used content images that
includes descriptive ALT attributes and all purely decorative graphics include
null ALT attributes.
Standards Compliance
Website design is intended to be in conformity of basic level compliance as
specified by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. We have made
attempts to ensure all pages validate most features of XHTML 1.0 and use
structured semantic markup.

Partial Conformance where Full Accessibility is Not Possible
Some of the pages on our website may not conform fully to existing accessibility
standards if accessibility support for them does not exist. For such pages, if any, every
effort is being made to make them conforming to existing guidelines. Such partial
non-conforming content may exist, for example, where a third party has contributed
content that is non-conforming.
Web Accessibility Partner
We have a web accessibility partner who works with our web accessibility team to
update our website and content and integrate new apps and releases that will make it
easier to use our services and products. We are committed as a company to work with
our partners to make our website more accessible to everyone.
Future Changes
In order to increase accessibility to our services and products to everyone, we are
committed to following the evolving standards for accessibility and will continue to work
with our accessibility partner to upgrade our existing legacy system to make it better.
We at our hotel believe in access to knowledge, no matter what sort of physical barrier a
user may have. We are continuing to design our website to be accessible to impaired
users in navigating, understanding, seeing, and interacting with a website. We want
impaired users to contribute to making our website better for all. Please be aware that
our efforts are ongoing. If you find that something on our website is not accessible, we
welcome your concerns, questions, and suggestions. Please contact us at your earliest
