It looks, like I did right thing and got my fight to SEA.
Otherwise in the case of temporary visa issued, I'd try to get from this opportunity maximum I could. This means, go to the city of Kopenhagen, then go to Sweden, and then depends on for how long I'd been permitted. And definitely, no hotels in Kopenhagen.
With other words, it would be too risky.
And transit zone in CPH looks really moderate. One duty free shop, one cafe and that's it. Plenty of room to stay and sleep, but it could have a little more entertainment. VIE in this case is exactly the opposite to CPH: in VIE there is a lot of restaurants, shops and entertainment, but really no place to sit/sleep.
