Not only were the stains still there, there was two more stains and they STAPLED their papers to the hood of the vest leaving holes in the hood. They also stapled another paper to the coat hook inside and claimed they do this all the time, zero logic. I left a review, received a call that I would receive a refund and they would pay for the $300 vest. Of course neither happened so here I am.

I discovered my new favorite cleaners within three blocks of my residence…read more I had passed Penn Cleaners countless times but had not considered them until today when I lost a button on my favorite Barbour jacket. I expected to have to leave my jacket and return days later. To my utter delight, James took a quick look at the jacket and advised that it may require a patch to preserve my valued garnet. James carefully re-examined my jacket and repaired it on the spot. As I inquired about the charge for the repair and expeditious service, James quickly replied that the repair was a "Thanksgiving gift." As I insisted further, James politely declined to accept any payment. Whilst this repair seemed rather routine, I was immediately impressed by Penn Cleaners' commitment to customer servic. As I waited for my repair, I observed that the other customers knew James by name and appreciated the efficiency with which he located their items. .I am now a Penn Cleaners customer as well.

I was a little miffed by the prices, but I can't say I've paid to get my clothes cleaned before so maybe it was typical. They had a quick turn around and the clothes looked great, or so I thought. When I went to put on the skirt I realized the HUGE stain was still on it. The whole reason I took it to be cleaned was for them to get the stain out. It wasn't even faded and looked like it hadn't even been touched. If it was going to look the same I wouldn't have bothered going. Because of it's location I can see myself winding up here again, but with more specific instructions and anything needing attention will be taken somewhere else entirely.

Yet to have a bad experiences. Highly recommend! I think contrary to restaurants, people don't have the incentive to post good reviews for dry-cleaners. In restaurants, you have a delicious and memorable meal, so you want to post something nice to capture the moment and share the joy. With dry cleaners, you expect that your clothes will come out nice and clean. If that happens - voila - you're done. You're content. So, most people will only review a dry cleaner when something goes wrong. I'm the usual, Jo Shmo, fellow bureaucrat spreading love for a small business doing a great job.

I was extremely pleased with the results. Over the past year I've brought dresses, blazers, jackets and even regular clothing that I don't trust my washing machine to use (it's violent and destroys everything). My clothes come back clean, on time, never damaged or still stained (on the contrary, they were able to remove some stains for me) and I'm always greeted by kind and friendly people. They take credit cards now, so the reviews that complain about only taking cash or check should be disregarded. All in all, I haven't been let down yet and I'll continue to go as long as I live here. Keep in mind most of these reviews you're reading are several years old. Managements change. Businesses evolve. And I'm willing to bet this one did.

The vendor is meticulous and attentive. A buddy of mine bought me lunch here one day. It was great. I got my hot dogs with EVERYTHING including the cooked onions. I selected my bag of sour cream and onion chips and told the vendor that I wanted a Coke. He took my bag of chips and put it in the bag. Then, digging down into the icebox inside the cart, he grabbed a cold Coke, which he wrapped with napkins before putting in my bag. Upon delivering $9 to the vendor, we then went into Columbia Plaza and sat at one of the picnic tables for our dogs. Another day, I reciprocated on the dog deal. Still $4.50. Still hot doggityness. I have been back since. These dogs even satisfy those who are sensitive to cart food (not me). In name brand sodas, I have moved on to Fanta. I love orange soda! Oh, and, the tip "jar" is a plastic cup right by the window of the cart. Hey, whadda want? Sure, it's a hot dog cart. This is not haute cuisine. It's the hot dog special!

Coming here gave me a flashback to my early childhood in the late 70s. I think my mom used to get her hair done here back in the day. Overall its not bad its just sort of blah looking. What it does have going for it is a nice open outdoor space in the middle of the shops there. Granted if you're not going for something specific (i.e. Segway or bike tour) the only other likely reason you might come by is 1. if you live nearby, or 2. if you work nearby.
