In “The Hotel”, after “(The red letters, yellow circles and blue lines on the map image are not considered to be flavour text.)”, append as part of the same paragraph:
Additionally, “Grounds” is a Spot, but not a lettered Spot.
Add as a new paragraph to the end of “The Hotel”:
A Spot is an Ingress if and only if it appears on the List of Ingresses, which is a publicly tracked list of Spots. “Grounds” is considered to connect to each Ingress.
In “Routes”, after “if the Route is exactly twelve letters in length.” but in the same paragraph, add:
Civilians cannot perform this action. Burglars can perform this action only if the first and last Spots in the Route are each either “Grounds” or an Ingress (they may be the same or different). Guards can perform this action only if “Grounds” does not appear in the Route.
In “Routes”, change “if the Route is exactly twelve letters in length” to “if the Route is exactly twelve Spots in length” and change “string of letters” to “string of Spots”.
Set the List of Ingresses to C, G, N, X.
The Burglars presumably have to get into and out of the building, whereas the Guards can remain inside. I’m assuming that later on, we’ll give the Burglars ways to make new Ingresses, and maybe give the Guards ways to remove them.
This mechanic also makes it possible for the Burglars to leave early (or enter late), which is probably going to be balanced due to the limited choice of entry/exit points.
testing the vote script possible bug here

It does feel a little awkward that if you’ve got a route with length 10 between 2 ingresses, then you have to wait an extra 2 before you’re allowed to leave, but I suppose that’s more a quirk of how routes work than ingresses.
