Scandic Hafjell's staff was helpful beyond expectations... especially Amanda at the front desk.  She went out of her way to get information for us about the bobsled track nearby and answered questions about exchanging currency, which we ultimately didn't do since everyone accepted credit cards.  The included breakfast had so many options that we weren't bored with it even after 9 meals.  And they packed us a breakfast for our early morning departure.  The hotel lobby was a comfortable area to relax outside of our room.  The location is excellent, just a short (20 minute) drive to Lillehammer and extremely close to the Hafjell ski resort.  And it was about a 45 minute drive to Kvitfjell ski resort.  The only thing negative aspect of the room is that it was a bit tight and didn't have a dresser, so we were living out of a small closet and our suitcases for our stay. But I will be highly recommending the hotel to friends and family.
