This Asian family-owned Alterations and Dry Cleaning business is one of Roanoke's best kept secret…read more I discovered it a while ago, and it was not by chance. Needing to have some alterations done to a new suit I had just bought to attend a special event, I visited several alterations and dry cleaning businesses that I knew about because of their central location and expensive advertising to get their name out there. All of them charged exuberant amount of money to have what I needed done, as well as having to outsource the job, and taking much too long to have it done. Then, all of a sudden, I remembered a little place I once saw as I was driving by the Colonial Office Center. It was located in one of three small businesses at the end of the parking lot to this Office Center. And I thought to myself: "Sometimes amazing things come in small packages." So I decided to travel on the road less traveled, in this case beyond the parking lot, and to this small building that housed the Sun's Alterations & Dry Cleaning business. This is where I met a very kind and hospitable lady who's main concern was solving my problem of getting my new suit tailored and ironed on time to attend my special event. Since all their alterations are done on the premises by a professional tailor with 26 years of experience, she told me it could be done and quoted me a very reasonable price. Who would ever have imagined that in this humble, little store, hidden behind a large Office building, I found the solution to my problem provided by a wonderful and warm Korean family-owned business. Since then I have always gone there for all my alterations and dry cleaning needs, and recommend the place to family and friends. Today, when I visited the place to take some photographs to accompany this review, I had the privilege to also meet the husband of the family and their older son, and to personally thank them for the great contribution that they are making to the community of the Star City of Roanoke, Virginia. I highly recommend this small business for all your alterations and dry cleaning needs, and urge you to support this wonderful family by giving them your business and friendship.

A friend of mine introduced me to this laundromat when I needed a place to do my laundry while my…read morewashing machine was being repaired. Never did I imagine that it would be the quality and convenient laundromat that I discovered it was. Located at 1718 Bennington Sreet in the Southeast area of Roanoke, Virginia, it is right next to the Shell Gas Station on the same street which I reasantly reviewed on Yelp. The first thing I noticed was the clean and modern looking brick building painted in gray with tones of blue and white, surrounded by a sidewalk, and with a private lot parking all around it. Its outside building sign beside highlighting the laundromat's name, it made sure to point out that it was "OPEN 24 HOURS," and later I found out the for 7 days a week. I parked my pearl white Lexus on one of the parking spaces on the side of the building and entered through the side entrance. Clearly written on the glass door was their phone number and some of the rules required to use this laundromat. Also there was a notice posted that it had 24 Hour Video and Audio Recording. So one could see that from the very beginning it set the tone for the expected behavior inside. When I entered, I found the place clean and well-maintained, with the latest in modern machines, with many small and large capacity washers and dryers, including a "Hulk" washer for up to 90 lbs of laundry. Another thing that captured my attention immediately was that they no longer used coins. It had a new system of reloadable laundry cards, which you registered and used to pay for the washing and drying of your clothes, as well as for having complimentary access to their restroom if you were a paying customer on that day. It was a little confusing at first, but the instructions for purchasing a card, filling it up with different amounts of money from one of your credit cards, and using the cards in the washers and dryers wear so clear that it became simple and very convenient to use. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and many of the items I am mentioning in my review. To make sure customers registered their cards correctly, they are having a Free Laundry Giveaway where they would be giving away $25 in Laundry Credit to 4 customers every month, and winners would be notified with their registration contact information. The instructions of amounts and how to use the cards were very clear and one could also ask one of the steady customers and they were more than happy to explain. I was there on a Wednesday afternoon around 4 o'clock and there were only two more customers doing their laundry. I was told it gets busier in the evenings and on weekends. Although the place offered a family-friendly environment with amenities such as a soap center, folding tables, seats to wait on, a restroom, a sink outside the restroom, and a play area with movies for children, it lacked Wi-Fi access, TV screens for customers to watch TV while they waited for their clothes to be ready, and I even didn't see too many plugs to be able to charge one's cellphone. On the positive side the lack of the above mentioned open doors to be able to talk and interact with customers. I met one of the cooks for Sidecar Restaurant, one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Roanoke, and was able to find out first hand interesting information about the restaurant and its menu. I was able to wash and dry my 3 loads of clothing very well, and will consider returning here even after my washing machine is repaired at times when I have large loads of clothes to wash or large items such my bed comforter, quilt, mattress protector, throw blanket, or duvet. And I highly recommend this place as a clean, safe, and convenient place to do your laundry.

But that not my issue. My issue is why do we let businesses get away with mistreating our communities of black and brown customers. How do you have a laundromat without a working restroom. People are here for hours at a time and can't use the restroom. Some people are dropped off and that's unfortunate and unacceptable that you put an out of order sign up so we won't use it. Fucked up is what it is. I won't return. For that reason I only give it a 2 star.

It's clean. It had plenty of washers and driers including a good number of the commercial size I needed. Plenty of machines were available. In a Wednesday afternoon there weren't many people there, and the ones that were seemed reasonably savory. There was a working side machine and even a clean bathroom. I got all the change I needed from one of the two working change machines, and got the job done fairly quickly. In fact, my only complaint is that there were no chairs or benches to sit on. Nothing. Nada. I think I understand why, but it was still an annoyance. I had to position my car so I could sit in it and watch the entrances in case my laundry decided to walk out. Overall though, I would highly recommend this place.

Mentioned that it would be nice if the shirt cuff had a third button, and they let me know the seamstress was out. I told them I needed an under 8 hour turnaround, as I had an interview the following morning. They agreed to rush it, without charging more. Picked up my clothes at 4 PM, paid with my card, found out that they'd added the third button to the shirt cuffs. I paid under $10 for all of this. Needless to say I know where I'll be getting my Easter suit cleaned. :-) 4/5 because the pants weren't starched (miscommunication but still), and it was hard to find their prices and hours online.
