Four night stay in September 2011.
Firstly, if you have a car, then the car parking is free and fairly secure (underground to the back of the hotel). Visually, the hotel is not the best, having a car park for the bank out the front and off-set to the main road slightly. There is seating outside, which is pleasant enough. Check-in / out was good, all three of the people that assisted at the front desk were accommodating and friendly and very helpful (Especially Deborah)!
Having noted already other comments on the rooms, we were pleasantly surprised to find a room that was functional for our needs and as a base to explore the local area, ideal in size and comfort. Shower was good, BBC World and Sky News available and enough space for clothes etc.
Breakfast was inconsistent, with the staff unable to keep up with replenishment of the food. Also, it appeared that the restaurant manageress was happier to talk to friends, rather than support the team to keep things well presented and available. As some examples, cheese was always down to the last few pieces, water (four bottles) would be empty, scrambled eggs empty, bacon not always available etc.
We did not eat dinner in the restaurant, as it seemed very expensive, but chose to eat in Vicenza itself. Realistically it is a 10-15min walk to the centre of the town, and there are some nice restaurants to eat in with a larger choice. Drinks were also expensive at the hotel, typically double the price of the town.
Agli Schioppi restaurant was very nice, serving great roast beef (small slices cooked to your liking with roasted potatoes), along with good fish (bream) and excellent dessert (apple tart).
Antica Osteria Ca'D'oro is great for Pizza, and if you eat in the restaurant down-stairs, you can see the chef making the pizza. Well priced food and nice beers.
Tutti Gelato is the best place for Ice Cream in Vicenza, great products and average prices.
There is also a restaurant opposite Tutti Gelato, which is ok, although slightly pricey and a bit like a school canteen in feeling!
There is a road grill bar next to McDonalds, on the way to the motorway, which is good value, quick service and has typical american themed products.
The hotel is the right side of town to join the motorway, so ideal if you are visiting other towns in the area.

To summarise, if you are visiting the local area and want a central base to explore the cities of Verona, Mantua and Padua, then this is ideal, as all are within an hours' drive. I believe this should be a 3* not a 4* hotel.
