Yes, ask in the reception of your hotel. Some hotels may lend you an adaptor for your stay.
In the bathroom there is normally a US compatible socket.
You may also buy an US-EU converter several places at the airport.

Danish sockets are a but different from other European sockets, which
are normally of the german/French kind. Not much different
for plugs with 2 polses they are normally compatible with German/french plugs, for
3 poles, with ground, they have a nextra male pole, where German/French plugs
has a hole. Andyway that works, and most electrical equipment today and for the
last 20 years have been sold with german/french plugs...

But some Danish firm has had a monopoly on the Danish sockets for a very long time.
