Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Doswell Kings Dominion , VA
Family suites and an indoor heated pool by the gates
About this hotel
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson is the step-up stay along this Kings Dominion corridor, roughly two minutes' walk from the park entrance and built around family-suite layouts rather than standard single rooms. Every room carries a 32-inch flat-screen TV, neutral tones, and dark wood furnishings, with a microwave and refrigerator for the snacks and leftovers a multi-day WaterWorks trip generates. The indoor heated pool is the property's standout feature, giving families a reliable swim option regardless of the outdoor park's weather or seasonal hours, while the deluxe continental breakfast, omelettes, cinnamon French toast, fresh waffles, sets a proper start before a full day of slides. A fitness centre and business centre round out the amenities for parents balancing the trip with a workout or a work call.

Our take
This is the corridor's clear pick for families who want more than a basic overnight: the indoor heated pool alone justifies the small rate bump for anyone visiting outside peak summer or simply wanting a weather backup. The suite-style rooms suit multi-generational trips especially well. Families purely optimizing for the shortest possible walk or the lowest nightly rate should look at Best Western or Red Roof Inn instead.
- ✓Book this property specifically if an indoor heated pool matters, since it's the only one of the three Doswell hotels on this page with that amenity.
- ✓Take advantage of the deluxe continental breakfast before a full WaterWorks day rather than grabbing something quicker elsewhere.
- ✓Reserve early for peak Kings Dominion season, since this is the corridor's most in-demand property among the three covered here.
Why we love it
- Indoor heated pool, open on its own schedule

Why guests love itThe indoor heated pool is usually what sells a family on this hotel before arrival, and it earns its keep on the afternoon a summer storm shuts WaterWorks down for an hour or two. The suite layout makes a real difference too: a younger child can be asleep by eight while the rest of the family stays up with the TV low. The deluxe breakfast stands out as well, fresh waffles beating a quick grab-and-go option before the short walk back to the park gates.
