I never thought I'd be excited to write a review about a laundromat, but this place is great! Young adults, college kids, families - go here.
1) Clean, organized, highly efficient machines, and frequently maintained spaces. (Completely contrary to the dingy, half-cared for ones I'm used to going to.) It's so pleasant to pull the laundry out and fold it an a clean and well maintained workbench.
2) They have a variety of washer/dryer sizes for maximum efficiency.
3) They offer deals; like Wed and Thur 50 cents off 20-30lb washes. Last month they offered free drying with every load. Today they offered us complimentary dryer sheets. I've never seen a laundromat work for its customers like a business. Every other place I have ever been to I go in, do laundry, get what I get with the machines, pay, and leave. As a customer, here I feel respected; and I'm saying that about doing laundry. They have definitely raised the bar as a laundromat business model.
4) It is staffed the entire time it is open. Beyond simply having someone sitting behind a counter, the moment we walked in we were greeted, asked what we were doing, and offered assistance in making sure we chose the correct machine, and then shown the amenities. It is clear that back in my college days, when I was clueless about these things, this would have been the place to go
5) Amenities - fantastic. This place is painted in a cozy blue color, with modern decor, that makes it a pleasant place to be; like you're doing laundry at home. They have all the standard things, like laundry and drying sheets available (and the machines you get them from all work well), new baskets, working tables, etc. They also have popcorn and snacks, coffee and drinks, a variety of recent magazines that weren't just trashed and left as a byproduct, video games for kids, boardgames, and other stuff. The difference is that these are amenities I would use; they're clean, well maintained, and neatly organized - like what you'd find in a library.
6) BIGGEST SELLING POINT! On the side they have an alcove that's set up as a sitting area. It has nice tables, chairs, comfy/new/clean couches, a nice flat-screen tv with cable, soft lighting, coffee tables, and wireless internet. It's such a nice set up I literally feel like I'm in a coffee shop while I type this up.
I highly recommend this place. If lived here, this is where I would come to do my laundry. read more
