Our verdict
On Warwick Rd in Solihull town centre, 6.5 miles from New Street: that is where voco St. John's Solihull by IHG sits. It has a pool, which only a handful of Birmingham hotels do.
Birmingham Airport is 2.9 miles away. On parking, own car park.
On the pool: a pool is indicated by listing data.. That comes from guest reports rather than the operator, so confirm it when you book.
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 Leaded Light Guest House, 1.4 miles away. Against that one, this hotel has a pool it does not.
It qualifies for our hotels with parking and hotels with a pool comparisons, which is a reasonable shorthand for what it is good at.
The main trade-off is that it is well outside Birmingham, so anything in the city centre means a drive of twenty minutes or more in each direction.
