They charged $40+ tip for pick up/ wash and return. Not a bad fee for the service. The service was good. Blanket was properly washed and dried. Only hiccup was my daughter lives in an apartment complex the person doing the pickup got lost. I understand how many apartment complexes can be confusing. The person picking up and delivering was super cranky which made it feel like she was doing us a favor for a task she was being paid to complete. Maybe she was having an off day. Would still recommend as service was completely to our satisfaction.

Everything was nicely situated around the hangers covered in plastic garment covering. I was especially appreciative of the fact that they took care of the belts from my coats , making sure it is intact. Excellent job!

Why would you have a business open at 5am but no one that works there till 7:30am? I think this is…read morecompletely wrong to do to customers. Issue #1: this morning I was trying to buy a card after my laundry was already in the machine with soap because I realized I forgot my other one at home. The machine that customers buy the cards at was not working. None of the 3 worked. I spent at least 5 minutes trying to figure out how to get the card. I was so frustrated when another customer let me use their card and I gave them the cash. Issue #2: why is the bathrooms locked until someone is there? If your business is open and you can take my money then you should have your bathroom available or at least have someone working. I have a medical condition where I can't hold it and if I am in the middle of laundry and there is no bathroom available what would you suggest I do? Issue #3: Bathroom is locked so no where to change a babies diaper? Since you can't have someone working when you open that also means that if you need to change your babies diaper you can't until someone gets there. Issue #4: MY BIGGEST ISSUE, is about the ADA laws being broken but first I need to speak to an attorney before I say more. I will most likely avoid using your business in the future unless there is a change in these policies. It makes me very saddened because you are right next to my house.

If you need a laundromat, THIS IS IT. I went to another location last year when my washer/dryer…read morebroke and it was a great experience. I moved to Rancho Penasquitos and I still drove all the way to Escondido to go to these laundromats!! They keep them CLEAN, organized and easy. They have different sized washers that can hold 1-9 loads!! I went at 9am on a Wednesday, not crowded and plenty of machines. There was an employee constantly cleaning, sweeping and organizing. She was very helpful getting a card to load, with how much soap to put in the different sized machines and with all the other questions I had. This is only my second time at Grande but I looked at other laundromats and this place is just so much cleaner, the choice was easy when it came to my clothes. I used a machine that held 6 loads of laundry and it was $8.88. Probably pricey (I don't know the going rate these days) but for me worth it. Dryer time was 3 CENTS a minute so washing is definitely their money maker. Tips: bring your own soap to save a little money and your hangers. They had plenty of laundry carts to hang clothes and table space to fold. Highly recommend!!

Wish I could give them zero. The young girl that works here is very nice but the older lady is not! I had them put a patch on a sweatshirt and it was not ready the day they said it would be. And when I picked it up the price they told me went up. I asked why and the older lady said it was a harder patch to sow on. It was a butterfly patch. Come on are you kidding me?? She was rude and I will never bring my stuff here again. She also said it was a jacket and it costs more. No it was a sweatshirt, everyone knows the difference between the two. Honor your quote!!! Do not go here. There are plenty of places to get your clothes done at, so go elsewhere like I will do for now on!!! read more
