Miyako was dependable japanese, albeit nothing special. Eastway Brasserie was startlingly good, both on-prem and in-room.
Depends on your tastes, but I'd use it on Eastway.

You do have to lock it in for a specific day, but reasonable enough for most tourists. (Though I foolishly bought my Heathrow Express tickets forgetting that the Elizabeth Line central section is not yet running on Sundays, when I arrive, so it will not be the most useful for me, but still not too bad to take the Circle line from Paddington to the hotel.)


Does anyone know if this hotel ever offers the option to confirm room upgrades for a co-pay in advance? Points are a great deal here for my dates but I really don't want to risk staying in a queen bed. Would still be a good deal to use points + pay cash for the difference in rate to confirm a bigger room, but the hotel is not responding to my email inquiring. Just trying to get any data points before I go to the real effort of (gasp!) picking up the phone.

Last trips leave Heathrow at around midnight.

You can think of the Elizabeth Line as functionally part of the Tube (even though for official purposes it's its own thing) so you would just show up and ride as you would for any other mass transit trip. Apple Pay or contactless credit cards can be used to pay for the ride by tapping on and off at the fare gates at each end of the journey.
