I do not have a washer or dryer so I must use local laundromats. I tried this one because it was in close proximity to my residence. I couldn't imagine a worse experience when it comes to just about everything you would expect from a laundromat. The lady(who described herself as the sister-in-law of the owner) was very rude and not helpful at all. If anything, it seemed like she took pleasure in seeing me struggle. I was born in this town, I work downtown as a professional, and I have absolutely no reason to give someone an undeserved bad review. Then again that lady had no reason to give me an undeserved bad attitude. I stand by my words.

Note that on Google Maps this is listed as "BBJs Laundromat" but the storefront and Yelp say "Laundrymat". There's a lot of stuff here, including a softly-playing radio and a small clothing shop, and vending machines. The one thing it DOESN'T have that you'd kind of expect from a laundromat is a change machine...no electronic bill/coin return. I spent a solid five minute pacing the place looking for one; it looks like one exists but is out of order. Instead you have to find and ask the lady walking around with the little fanny pack full of quarters, who I *think* is an owner (?) and speaks mixed English. This wasn't a problem overall for me but I feel it's be easier if they just had a coin machine (and what happens when that lady's not there?). No comment on the driers yet as my stuff's still in the wash, but so far I'd say this is a good place to go.

It took multiple attempts to reach him, and when I finally did, he seemed uninterested in helping and appeared to be brushing us off.

We had to keep pushing for a solution before he finally told us to send our name and phone number so he could issue a refund later. I'm very disappointed with how this situation was handled. It's also incredibly hot inside--there are no fans or air conditioning, which is unreasonable when it's over 100 degrees outside. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, and I will not be returning.
