I stayed there about 2 years ago and it was an excellent choice to get a (verly) early train to MP and back late in the evening.
I will check this hotel also.
My main reason for picking Tambo Del Inka is that it I can use Starwood points to book it. It is well reviewed and seems well located for a base. That said, the train schedule posted by Sometimes flyer (thank you!) gives me pause. That's a lot of train travel for 5 hours at machu picchu...which is our primary reason for visiting Peru in the first place.
I need to look at staying a night in Agua Calientes (sp?) so we can get a nice full day at MP without the long train ride on both ends...
