I was in Gainesville and needed to do some laundry without wanting to drive the extra miles to where we usually take our clothes for laundering. I found this location on Google nearby where I was conducting business so decided to stop.
* Large nicely paved clean parking lot.
* Overall a clean location.
* Lot's of both washing machines and dryers available for use.
* Most the equipment was in operating order.
* Attendant on duty
* Economical, I did three loads of wash for $15.00
* Two coin machines
Upon my arrival, the attendant was busy working on loads of wash that had been dropped off by customers. Most of the folding tables were clean and the baskets were free of debris. I was able to easily find three washing machines side by side to load my stuff into.
There are seating areas and several vending machines. The washers and dryers all take quarters only and you cannot use a card and no ATM on property.
There were only four or five other patrons and the place was quiet upon my arrival.
They offer a drop-off, wash and fold service for $1.00 per pound and $1.25 per pound for rush/same day service which is a good value if you need it.
My rating dropped significantly as I loaded my items into dryers. While it is not the fault of the business it is still a factor that will keep me from ever returning to this location. As school let out the place filled with moms with young (3-8-year-old children.) The kids ran roughshod over the place, climbing on stuff, running, screaming, running with carts that on several times stuck me and other patrons all with no intervention by parents.
I realize it is probably very difficult to raise children today, keeping your attention on your smartphone, texts, chats and facebook all the while being distracted by your menacing children but to their defense, the mom's here kept their attention fully on the phones and did not seem to be bothered nor distracted by their children.
While I realize the business is powerless to deal with unruly children or parents who do not know how to parent this will unfortunately, keep me from returning here unless I use their drop off service. read more
