Why the EFF is this place rated so high?! Not just on Yelp, where their only review is a 5-star,…read morebut every where else, where this dump got glowing reviews?!
Apparently, the Maple Shade/Mt. Laurel/Moorestown area is a complete dead zone for "quality" laundromats. There are only a smattering of beat to shit, run down, mom and pop joints. Having gone to TWO others, that were somehow worse than this one, I decided to trust the reviews and head here. *Whomp whomp*
Walking in, I notice all the usual malcontents that typically frequent a laundromat. There is a woman immediately complaining about the soda machine, and very aggressively telling another patron that dryer 9 is open. There is a guy with a Vietnam vet hat and BDU jacket quietly sitting off to the side; his coffee on the counter where the cash register is. The counter is empty. I notice that everything is coin operated, but there are no change machines. A man notices me confusingly looking around and asks if I need change. He takes me to the counter, and I hand him a $20, and he hands me back a pre sorted laundry detergent cap filled with quarters. Not trusting THAT shit, I go to the sorting table to verify that there was indeed $20 in quarters. (There were...the pre sorting system must be good. )
So, I go to wash and notice that washing machines are almost SIX. DOLLARS. to wash. Now, granted, it's been a LONG time since I was in a laundromat, but SIX DOLLARS FOR A MID SIZED MACHINE?! That seems super excessive.
The small machines are Maytag commercial units, straight from the early 80s, and although they SAY $2.25 ON THEM, they are most certainly $2.75 to use.
The dryers are .25 for 5 minutes, which, since washing is $5.75, they SHOULD be free.
I got my clothes washed, (over $17 for 3 loads), but I will absolutely not be back here.
