I've been to Stavanger with my wife on a work trip. As everyone has already mentioned, food is extremely expensive. Like $20CAD for a Big mac (no meal) expensive.
Stavanger is a major oil and gas city, and we were there during an energy expo, so hotels were extremely expensive and scarce. Luckily the company paid for our accommodations.
The Preikestolen hike was amazing, and pretty busy as well. The terrain can be challenging if you're not used to hiking, and the path is really slippery when wet. I would advise wearing good hiking shoes, and taking your time. The views at the top are spectacular. Be sure to bring a camera. To get to the base of the hike, you would need to take a bus and a ferry from Stavanger. I cannot remember how much this costs, but I'm sure you could do a quick online search to find out.
