King Frederik Inn

King Frederik Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Booked the hotel for 1 night and although I felt it was kind of pricey for what it is, the surrounding places and great staff made it worth it. The room was clean, spacious and had everything my bf and I needed. The only two issues I had was the parking situation and exiting the parking. As far as the parking goes, It’s first come first serve. If you happen to see no parking available speak to the front desk. I was able to verify that the parking spaces right out front the hotel door were available when all other spots are taken. My second issue was when exiting the parking you have to be very careful because your car might hit the ground really hard. It’s a steep exit. So people with low vehicles might possibly damage their cars. Other than that, great staff, great location, would return again! :)"
