Our verdict
On Coventry Rd in Solihull and the NEC, 6.8 miles from New Street: that is where The Tri-Star Hotel sits. It sits beside Birmingham Airport, which takes the transfer out of an early departure.
The NEC is 1.2 miles away, with Birmingham International station as the practical link. On parking, own car park, reported free. The X1 and X12 buses to the airport stop outside, and guests note the windows are triple glazed.
Only one of the Birmingham destinations we measure is within fifteen minutes on foot from here: Birmingham Airport, about 15 minutes. Everything else means transport.
Its closest neighbour in our selection is Novotel Birmingham Airport, 0.75 miles away. Against that one, this hotel parks your car where that one cannot.
It qualifies for our hotels with parking comparison, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
The other side of that: the city centre is 6.8 miles away, so an evening in town needs a plan for the journey back.
