Peaceful and comfortable for a short stay,.
Pros:

Very comfortable room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a minibar facility from reception to buy soft drinks, wine etc. Ideal location for us to visit family in Desborough. Very quiet location.

Cons:

Ideally we would have liked a restaurant although there is one on site - it does not seem to be operational. Sainsbury's and M&S food stores nearby so we bought food to eat in the room.

A good night's sleep.
Pros:

If you are just looking for a quiet bed for your stay travel plaza is ideal. This was my second weekend break here this year.

Cons:

If breakfast facilities were available it would be all I could ever need for a weekend break.
