Had to check out this place with the more recent reviews since I've been at The Laundromat on 12th a few times. Gotta spread the love of supporting local businesses.
And whoever previously reviewed and claimed you get a feel for the inner city here has clearly NEVER been in an inner city.
When you've been stuck in the middle of New York City because all the trains were completely full heading back to Connecticut and you spend the night at the 24 hour McDonald's that is closest to Grand Central Station, then you'll know what the inner city looks like.
Walk around and it's actually quiet there at 2 am but you see the occasional rat as big as a small cat and the drunks and hookers/hos at McD's and that's more like inner city.
Being here at 7 AM and seeing the one apparent tweaker hang out for a few minutes on his phone before he heads to wherever else he is headed, in addition to the 2 older guys and 1 older gal doing laundry is pretty unthreatening after you seen the hookers and the dudes almost get in a fight and that happens throughout the night in the middle of NYC ... AT THE McD's!
Or be in the middle of Philly even in the daytime. SMH.
ANYWAY
I'm here at 7 am before work to wash my work clothes.
It appears clean and adequate, a few larger washers at $3.75 for a wash load in a triple load front loader, $3 for a double front loader, $1.50 per wash in a regular top loader washer.
If it had free donuts, coffee, &/or WiFi it would get 5 stars? (I could swear one of the posts claimed they got donuts lol!)
I'm only here for a half hour or so to wash so if I were here longer or at night and could get a real feel for this place I'd possibly reconsider my rating either way.
Having a triple load of laundry done before the weekend even starts?! PRICELESS! read more
