And if you really want power
And if you really want power and could spend a bit, ceramic rims and appropriate pads. No rim wear and in the dry essentially mechanical 660mm rotors (for me). They are more affected by the wet and filth than seperate disc rotors, but mine still rock in the wet and the mire. Ohh and because of the concrete like pads, they still work in proper sub zero temperatures where standard alloy rims cannot.
I went through many years
I went through many years thinking that Swisstop green were the best, but when they became difficult to find, I think they sort of moved to blue, I tried the Kool Stop salmons, I could not be happier, myself. Give them a go, really highly reccomended.
Better braking, especially in the wet and seemingly less rim wear. I have never been worried about pad wear, better them than rims.
Longer pads, low profile easier to set up for me on the front and the mtb on the rear, cantilever posts.
There is quite a discussion online about it, it’s not a vitriolic as the disc vs rim one but there are conflicting views.

I think that you leaving the bike in the boot does seem easier for you. Ask the hotel but if this is a regular thing maybe get specialist bike insurance, talk to them first though and explain your circumstances, make sure you’d be covered and not paying out and not being covered. It might also provide fuller coverage than the home insurance too. Expensive, but peace of mind…

There is something weird in the design of the bicycle in that all noise seems to be coming from the bottom bracket area, even when the cause may be quite distant.

A lot of my creaking comes from the seatpost. Remove, clean and grease/carbon stuff, and the fastener. More important in metal on metal interfaces as stops binding.
