We are comfortable using CTA trains, buses, and Metra.
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO
Please:
* Add all 14 lodging candidates to the trip as options we can compare.
* Keep Hotels and Airbnbs in separate groups/lists if Mindtrip supports that.
* Do not choose or book one for us yet.
* Preserve my quoted total prices rather than replacing them with a different live price.
* Show the lodging options on the map where possible.
* Do not schedule lodging candidates as daily itinerary activities.
* For Airbnbs, preserve the Airbnb URL and mark the map location as approximate.
* Help us compare each option based on price, proximity to our four destinations, public transit, and nearby restaurants/food.
After adding everything, tell me exactly which properties you successfully added and which ones you could not resolve, rather than silently substituting other properties.

Are you able to build a trip with lodging options before it’s settled so that we can vote and plan with it?
**Yes, absolutely.** SearchSpot is designed specifically to let you build, stage, and plan your trip with multiple lodging options while your group compares and votes on them.
Here is how you can use this feature with your **4**-person group:
---
### 🛠️ How Unsettled Lodging & Group Voting Works
1. **Keep Multiple Lodging Candidates Staged**
* All **14** lodging candidates (**8** hotels and **6** Airbnbs) remain linked to your Chicago trip workspace as comparison items.
* None of them are marked as booked or locked into rigid check-in times, so they will not block or disrupt your daily activity planning.
2. **Invite Your Travel Companions to Collaborate & Vote**
* Click the **Share** button in the top navigation header of your trip page.
* Select **Private collaborators** and invite the other **3** adults by email as **Editors** or **Viewers**.
* Once your companions sign in via the shared private link, they can review the properties, leave comments, and cast **votes** on individual items with named voter lists to build consensus.
3. **Build the Daily Itinerary in Parallel**
* You do not need to wait on a hotel decision to start building the daily schedule.
* We can map out and time your visits to the <spot name="Field Museum" address="1400 S Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60605" emoji="🏛️"/>, <spot name="Lincoln Park" address="Lincoln Park, Chicago, IL 60614" emoji="🌳"/>, <spot name="The Second City" address="1616 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60614" emoji="🎭"/>, and <spot name="Obama Presidential Center" address="Jackson Park, Chicago, IL 60637" emoji="🏛️"/> across your **4** days (**November 4–8, 2026**).
* Because the lodging candidates are clustered around transit-accessible hubs (River North, Old Town, and The Loop), the route timings remain reliable regardless of which option your group picks.
4. **Lock In & Finalize When Ready**
* Once your group votes and selects a favorite property, you can finalize that specific stay and remove the remaining candidates from your comparison list.
---
### 🚀 What We Can Do Next
* **Draft a Day-by-Day Plan**: We can structure a realistic **4**-day schedule connecting your **4** must-see attractions with transit routes and nearby dining spots.
* **Narrow the Lodging List**: We can filter down the **14** candidates to a top **3** or **4** finalists (for example, comparing the best budget hotel vs. the best **2**-bedroom Airbnb) to make group voting faster.
