Great beachfront location across from beach access and north end of Boardwalk (16th St) with great sunrise and ocean views from the 4th floor deck. Family weekend - had four 2-room units with kitchenette, newly re-painted and clean throughout. This was our second time here and both times found public areas and rooms very clean and service friendly, informative, and... More

I had the displeasure of staying at your motel last year after being told that you leave your guests with nothing to be desiried. Upon entering our room, I noticed that it was already occupied. When i asked the desk clerk if you rented to gnats or other insects, i was told no. I was then offered a fly swatter.... More

We have been coming to the Matador for many years now and it seems to get better every single year. Pros: The staff is always courteous and helpful, the rooms are very spacious and always clean, and the view never gets old. The hotel is on the beach which makes for a very short walk to the water. Cons: The... More

We booked the Matador with very high expectations. The website was very impressive and the reviews were fantastic. The location is prime. There is a concrete walkway to get you at least half way down the beach; a playground if you are traveling with kids who need to burn off some extra energy; a clean pool; and the Wildwood boardwalk...

This was our nine year at the Matador and I loved it as aways! The staff is extremely friendly and we had a great stay. The room was very clean and the cleaning staff were very nice. My son loved the pool and we had a lot of fun. I alway enjoy laying out on the 4th floor deck. Michelle

I have been coming down to North Wildwood for 8 years and when I come down I stay nowhere else but at the Matador Motel. They are ALWAYS accomodating and pleasant. The rooms are very clean, the beds are comfy. My home away from home, I look forward to this every year!

We stayed about three weeks ago at this motel for the first time. We had an average sized room, with two queens and a pullout couch. Bathroom was dirty. Room smelt moldy. At night, a strong scent of cigarette smoke was coming through the air conditioner from another room. The room reeked. At the pool one afternoon, we witnessed a... More

We have been going to the Matador for years. One of the most attractive features has been the price. Aside from the oceanfront location, the Matador is very basic and was priced accordingly. That has changed and we have been priced out of one of our favorite shore hotels. The pros - great location and great views. The cons -... More
