My roommate and I went to this laundromat when our washing machine died. I can't tell you how much…read moreI dislike laundromats- hot, humid, stuffy, often dirty, not exactly cheap, and you never know how clean the washing machines will get your clothes. I have to say though, if I have to go to one, this was the place to go.
We were there for just a bit over an hour, and that included washing, drying, and folding about 8 loads worth of clothes. The Laundry Room has a lot of machines, so we did not have to worry about having to wait. They have a great selection of washing machine sizes, including machines that can hold up to 8-10 loads of laundry. If you ever need to wash blankets, comforters or other really bulky items, it is absolutely no problem to find a suitable washing machine here.
The facility was clean, the washing machines are sanitized, they have vending machines for laundry supplies if you need them, and they have snacks and drinks too. There were not a lot of places to sit while our laundry was done, but there were some chairs. Our laundry came out clean and the washing machines spin so well our clothes only needed 20 minutes in the dryer and they were done.
I have a few tips for first time visitors:
1) Other reviewers mentioned that they take credit cards. This is sort of true. You can't use a credit card with the machines. You need to have a laundry card, but you can use a credit card to load money on the laundry card. I did not see ANY machines that accepted coins, but this being my first time there, I may have missed something.
2) The laundry cards are FREE, which I loved about this place. I have had to pay as much as $10 just for the card alone in other laundromats.
3) You may miss that the machines have containers on top of them to put in detergent, bleach, and softener in. They have step stools there that you can stand on to get to them on top of the larger machines.
4) There was no water in the snack vending machines when we were there, so I don't know if that is ever an available option. Bring water with you if that is what you want to drink. For that matter, bring whatever snacks and drinks you want with you, but they do have the option to buy stuff there. You may not have a lot of time for snacks though, because the washing machines only took 21 minutes to wash all of our clothes, and as I said, only 20 minutes in the dryer.
Despite my less than great feelings about laundromats, this was time well spent, and we had piles of well cleaned clothes at the end of an hour. We'll be back again, at least until our washing machine gets fixed.
