If you've been to a laundromat, you know what to expect. C'mon, it's a laundromat. You'll see different-sizes machines, a few having "out of order" signs. Muddy's gets 4 of my stars because they have really nice people & the place is usually quite clean. It's not a really big place & it'll get crowded during peak time. The small plaza's parking lot sucks. Obviously, the building was constructed when the street was half as wide. Park on the side.
One wall of dryers. 25¢ in a dryer yields a 10-minute spin. They are hot but the last 2 minutes or so are a "cooling down" (no heat) period. Best to check your stuff when there's 5-6 minutes remaining so if you need more time, you can insert another quarter & skip the useless cooling down.
They have one row of top-loader washers and three perhaps four different sized front-loaders. A much better deal when you're stuck doing the family wash, like I was. But it provided a great excuse to get outta attending a birthday party at the in-law's.
Minus one star because the underside of the detergent flap had mildew (gotta keep them washer doors open when not in use). I wouldn't have used that machine with mildew if I hadn't already stuffed it full of clothes.
Minus another star because the hot water wasn't really hot. I can't imagine how a laundromat could maintain hot water without a boiler the size of the USS Augusta. It wouldn't matter anyway, as every machine sold in the US since Clinton was eyeing the female interns in The White House has had to obey gubmint energy regulations so we could enjoy a life free of energy and climate concerns.
Add a star for having clean counters & very nice staff. read more
