You are correct. The hotel at the entrance to MP is very expensive and really not worth it. You can stay in the town, Aqua Calientes, at the bottom of the hill for alot less money. The town is better since there is a choice of restaurants and shops. You can,also, visit the hot pools at night after sightseeing in MP. The buses from the town go up the mountain early in the morning so you can be there before the other tourists arrive, and in the evening you can stay longer at MP before going down to the town. The ride up on the bus is about 15 to 20 minutes. The train from Cusco stops in the town of Aqua Calientes. You can buy package deals for the train, hotel and MP visit in Cusco. If you are hiking the Inca trail then you can buy the hotel package,also.
We had lunch at the hotel at the entrance and it was very expensive and not really that good.
Suerte!!!

Yes, you have many more choices at Aguas Calientes. I'd also recommend taking the train from Ollantaitambo instead of Cusco. Same on the return, get off at Ollantaitambo. Take a taxi between Ollan. and Cusco. You'll save at least an hour of time because of the switchbacks which the train must take to get out and into Cusco. You're welcome to visit my Peru Travel page, you may find some tips of use to you.

Hi, The existence of the hotel at machu picchu is somewhat controversial, by staying there you are promoting the over development of the Machu Picchu site. Stay in agua calientes, it is much cheaper and you will be doing your bit to conserve Machu Picchu.

We stayed there quite a few years ago, when it was Govt-run, and not expensive. It was wonderful to be there when all the tourists had gone away for the day. But the prices now seem to me absurd.
