"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. Yhey 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."
The Quinn's

"The Matador is everything to us. We've been vacationing twice every summer at the Matador for many years now. The staff is always at their utmost Best, and they can never do enough to make sure you have everything you need.

The convenience of being right at the Boardwalk and the Beach is awesome. To wake up at 6AM and walk out on the deck to see the sun rise, it's the best view. To sit and watch the ocean with the sun sparkling on it or the moon shining on the water at night like little diamonds dancing on the water. The view is spectacular. We love to dolphin watch just sitting outside our room.

I love the fact that it is truly a family oriented motel, and my entire family all come down at the same time at summers end, and we always have about 3 or 4 rooms booked. My Mom Theresa Clark, loves to walk around and talk to everyone, and the nice thing is everyone is always so nice, every year you make new friends.

The Matador IS truly our home away from home, wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. We have become the eternal guests of the Matador.

To Rosalie & Carmen, Stephen, Sammy, Tex, Torchy, Marianne, Carol and to whoever else I might have forgotten to mention, our vacations are what they are because of all of you. If it was up to me, I would give you 5 stars. Thank you for all the years of pleasure, fun and R & R. Love you guys."
Mary Murphy & Family, and Therese Clark and Joe.

"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!!!!"
Marie Hawkins

"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!!"
Amy Kestler Artim

"I used to come to Wildwood when I was a teenager back in the 70's. Now I'm just a wee bit older and still think it's the best place in NJ to vacation. There's something for everyone. No matter if your 1 or 101, you'll never be bored. The beach is the best! It's well taken care of and the sunrises and sunsets are to die for! Wildwood is THE family vacation spot. No other Jersey shore town competes. This town has it all - the huge beach, the exciting boardwalk, the great motels/hotels, the wonderful restaurants, the gracious people, the clubs, the stores...there are just too many things to list. If you've never experienced this wonderful vacation spot, just visit it once and I promise you'll be back for more!"
Diane Beans

"Best motel in the Wildwoods!! Been staying at the Matador for several years with my family and friends. Looking forward to seeing all the renovations in person in July !! Great staff, service, rooms, location..what more can I say ??? Only the most PERFECT place to stay in Wildwood!!"

"I cant wait to come down this May for my birthday. Just booked our room the other day & I'll be sending my money order on Monday, this is the best place to stay, right on the beach next to the boardwalk I love it. My boyfriend & I refuse to stay anywhere else but the Matador!"
Jessi Lynn

"What a Fabulous holiday....weather was great ,got fried on the beach,such happy times...so much fun...many,many family memories created .Thanks to you and yours. love you guys...see you next time."
Valerie Lorino Heininger

"Their Facebook page is very well developed, and is definitely worth a look if you haven’t seen it. Many aspects of the Motel, including numerous upgrades and renovations, have documentation with photos, video, etc., above and beyond what I’ve come across from the internet presence of any other Motel on the island. Between this, and their official site, the feeling of a family and staff that are strongly dedicated to the Motel is tangible. It’s always great to see owners doing right by their Motels – it is obviously well loved by them."
Martin Melluci

"The big reasons we go to the Matador; close to the ocean, playground and the closeness of the boardwalk without the noise and crowds of it. Plus my 3 year olds favorite ride at the beach is the TramCar. ha ha"

"I just spent a weekend at your hotel with my in-laws, and I also go down every year with my mother, as I am in August this year. I must say that you guys are a top class place with outstanding service, and with the upgrades you did this year including the new tiles in the rooms, the new carpet and the beautiful new sundeck, you have made it that much more enjoyable!"
Kevin O'Connor Willow Grove, PA

"Just got home a few hours ago and wanted to thank the staff for making our stay so enjoyable. Hated to leave. See you next year."
Darlene Artim

"We checked out yesterday and hated to leave. You all made our vacation the very best. We have stayed there the past 5 times in the Wildwoods and will never stay anywhere else. We will be back Columbus Day weekend in October. The only thing to improve on is getting a faster internet connection. It ran real slow. But you don't go on vacation to look on the internet. That is no big deal. You guys are the very best. Can't wait to see you all again in October. We already booked for the same time next year. You are like family to us. Thanks again."
Amy and Derek Artim

"Thank you for a fantastic vacation last week! This was our 1st time at the Matador, and we will absolutely be back!! Hopefully sooner rather than later! The best of both worlds - beautiful resort & warm, friendly people! Sure wish we would've found you years ago! But from now on, all of our Wildwood memories will definitely include the Matador! Thanks again!!"
Michelle Leitzer Watkins

"We checked out yesterday morning, and once again, the matador did not disappoint. awesome renovations and as always, the nicest staff"
Mike Cavallo

"Best place to stay. The location was great. Boardwalk and beach was right outside of our room. Just a few short steps. When you have children with you there is no better place to stay than a motel that has the beach and boardwalk so close. The playground came in handy at night when we wanted to get out some "extra" energy before bed. Rooms were nice and clean. Staff was very nice and helpful. Loved the pool! And lastly it was very quiet and so peacefull. Will definately stay there again. Thanks for everything!"
Amy Frihart Rutan

"Best place to stay. This was the best motel ive stayed in, the staff was great, the rooms were nice,the beach and boardwalk were steps away. I spent most of my time in the spa, my kids loved the pool, thanks for everything you and your staff made us feel at home,see you next July 30, 2011 the room was booked when we check out. Thanks for everything see you next year, the Moscato family. ps that is me in the pic at the spa. thanks again."
Dusty Moscato

"Its a shame there are so many condos now. Thanks be to God for the family at the Matador! They know what true family life is like when you go to the shore. God bless them and give them many many more years!"
Sharon Orfe

"You guys have a really nice motel, I stayed there for the first time this year and have no complaints at all... it was so nice and clean I really enjoyed my vacation. Thank you"

Councilman Ed Koehler

"I just wanted to send you a quick not to say how much we enjoyed staying at the Matador. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The facility is in wonderful condition. It is quite obvious that a lot of money is being placed back into the business. We had a wonderful stay and we look forward to checking in with you folks again either later this year or certainly next year."
