Our verdict
On Main Rd in Meriden, Warwickshire, 11.1 miles from New Street: that is where Innkeeper's Collection Birmingham (NEC), Meriden sits. It is a pub with rooms rather than a hotel, with the food and the bar downstairs.
On parking, own car park.
None of the Birmingham destinations we measure is walkable from here, so plan the car, the train or a taxi into the trip rather than treating this as a base you can step out of.
Its closest neighbour in our selection is Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club, 2.1 miles away, and the two are close enough on price and rating that the deciding factor is whichever is cheaper on your dates.
It qualifies for our hostels and budget stays comparison, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
It is not the right answer for everyone, because it is well outside Birmingham, so anything in the city centre means a drive of twenty minutes or more in each direction.
