67 reviewsThe machines are expensive (3.99 for smallest washer), and you have to buy a 2 dollar card to use the machines. The 2 dollars claims to be a "deposit", but it's non-refundable. This place is very convenient to my home, but I won't use it for these reasons.
Clean, super helpful staff and reasonable prices
Nice place. new owners are friendly.
I used to really like this place but they changed their payment system and raised their prices. This has always been a more expensive laundry mat but I went because of the convenience of location and the fact that for a laundry mat it is pretty clean. (Though not that clean, their washing machines often have a musty smell and water trapped in the door seals with a ring of mold). Their new system has a minimum spend of $10 per visit making it the most expensive laundry mat I have ever been too. I was also told by the owner that I could not get the money on my card refunded, including the $2.00 deposit you have to pay for the plastic card. After too much discussion and me having to become rude I was finally refunded the money on my card and the deposit. Also, they say they open at 8:30 but I have had had to wait for them to open on more then one occasion as they did not show up till 8:45 or later.
I thought this would be a good replacement as it's closer to home than my current laundromat- never coming again! You have to pay 2 dollars just to get a laundry card, that only allows you to use your card to top up in increments over 10$. One small washer (the only size available) is 3.99, and an extra 25 cents for anything over cold temperature. The dryers, while "cheap" are exactly that- it took 60 minutes just to dry clothes that usually takes no more than 30 on low temperatures at my old laundromat. Definitely not coming back here- during the whole time, there is no bathroom, no tables, and the seating area would be cramped with more than 2 people in it.
Self service is easy to navigate, many options of washer and dryer sizes, card is cool, free wifi, advice pasted on the wall
