If you have heavy luggage, you should get off at a bus stop of the east side of the station, not of the south side, because there are stairs.
Even if you have enough money, you may purchase a normal ticket for Heathrow Express, because it takes only 20 minutes to go from the station to the station of Heathrow Terminal 1,2,3.
There is a Sushi restaurant which is a Japanese food in the station.
I did not use a hotel around there, however, you should do it befor the last day of your visit London, because I think the place around the station is very convineint and you can easily access to the Heathrow Airport by Heathrow Express.

Trains to the west go from Paddington. Reading, Oxford, Worcester and Hereford, Swindon, Cheltenham and Bristol are by First Great Western. There are also Virgin Trains to Birmingham via Oxford, Banbury, Leamington Spa, Coventry, Birmingham International and Birmingham New Street.
The station was built by Brunel.
I have seen the Royal Train waiting on Platform 1 on more than one occasion.

Paddington means two things to me, the railway station where I enter London and of course the cute marmalade sandwich eating Bear from Peru.
I was in this wonderful train Station to get on the train that departs everyday to Shakespeare's birthplace. This station remember me the Industrial Revolution: really nice!
