Please check out the hotel reviews and videos below, then make plans to start your own chapter at The Matador.

The Matador is Everything To Us

“If you are looking for a place that prides itself on family fun, its the right place to be. You walk up the ramp and you are on the boardwalk. You sit on the deck at night and you are on a soothing vacation. Its that type of place that lends itself to what you make of it.
 
The rooms are clean and the care for the hotel decks and pool are great. There is always someone sweeping and doing chores. If you need something, you call. There has never been a time when you wait too long for anything. Maintenance and often the owners will run up to your room and do what they can to help. They really do care if your vacation is a pleasant one. On any day you will find the owners grandchildren or son walking around. There is always someone present. Its family owned and OPERATED. Just owning a place doesn’t matter if you don’t spend the time and monitor the facility. They do and believe me, even if something gets past them, it gets fixed as soon as they hear about it.
 
We go year after year and there is always a big smile and a great hello. The Matador may not have a spa or restaurant bar with umbrella drinks, but its a place that becomes familiar, like a home away from home for all its guests. Now if you are a true NJ shore vacationer, that’s what you truly want. Kick off your sandy shoes and relax, have fun or do whatever. The Matador offers the warmth of family vacation.”

“I must say that staying with you last summer was the best time we had ever had down the Wildwoods. We all loved that room 304 and hope that we might be able to rent it next season. Thank you for your time, enjoy this summer.”

– The Segelski Family

“You guys know I think you are the best and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else unless you didn’t have a room for me, and luckily so far that has not happened. I have been staying at the Matador since 1988, except for a couple of years after my husband died and I will continue to come there as long as I can. Take care of yourselves until I see you again!”

The Best in Wildwood

“We’ve been going to WW for years and just started staying at the Matador a few years ago, and it is the BEST in WW! So close to the beach, best views, nicest people that work there. The rooms, and we’ve stayed in the smallest and the largest are all great, clean and comfortable and really good water pressure in the shower, that is important to me.
 
We would recommend the Matador to anyone. Family friendly, and the closeness to the shore and boardwalk is the best. Can’t wait to come back!”
