Would you advise taking the train from the hotel to Machu Picchu, exploring Machu Piccu for the day, staying the night in Aguas Calientes, spending part of the next day at Machu Piccu, and then heading back to the hotel for another night or two?

In doing some research, I am guessing that it isn't that feasible, or preferred, to only do a day trip to Machu Piccu from the hotel. Given the times quoted on the website for arrival and departure, it doesn't seem like enough time.

I have made 3 consecutive day reservations right now, but starting to think I should split it up.

Thanks for any advice you can give from your experiences.
We are also looking for such advice, for April 2012. Our plan was to stay the 2 nights we're currently booked, then have a gap of one night where we stay in Aguas Claientes, then come back to Tambo for at least one night. Any suggestions? (Perhaps there'll be a promo by then in which two stays will be beneficial -- one can hope, right?)
