This was my first time there, and both of their change machines were broken and there is no ATM. So I had to go next door to awkwardly ask for change. Then, when I went to dry my clothes, I had to put my clothes in three different dryers because the first two were "out of service". The first with a tiny square inch of paper over the coin slot saying it was out of order and the second with a dimly lit "service soon" light on, so I only realized they were non-functioning after I loaded the whole lot of clothes in each and fed about a dollar's worth of quarters in the second. read more

Stand out of the way. This was the first of two major events. Perfect location for the city and the neighborhood is the most important. 9 orange is the most common form of the same color as the type that you can choose. read more

They have free Wi-Fi Internet here, which is a great idea. I think this is the only laundromat I've ever been to that has such a thing! This is a convenient laundromat because not only is there parking, but it's also right next to the Lark Tavern and across from the Lionheart. This means I can have a drink while I wait for my laundry. How perfect. Plenty of machines, including many of the plus-sized washers and dryers. It's typically pretty clean and the soap machines are well-stocked. There's not even a television blaring obnoxious soap operas, which I find sort of refreshing. Unfortunately, it closes at 10 p.m. Also, my previous dealings with management went extremely poorly. But as long as you don't accidentally leave a backpack here and attempt to retrieve it, this a great laundromat to go to. I think it's under new management, so hopefully the customer service has improved. read more

This laundromat is fine. Everything usually works, but there is no attendant around. I've been sexually harassed more than once in this laundromat and will not be coming back. Someone needs to be monitoring this laundromat, because it can't just be happening to one person. It is incredibly uncomfortable to wait for your laundry while someone tells you you could be "his wife but no other pretty girls talk to him" or he "has a type and you're his type." It was so creepy. Please monitor this facility better. read more

The place is usually very clean, unless it's a rainy/particularly wet day outside. Frequently, a number of the washer/dryers don't work but there are almost always notes on them saying they're broken. I don't think I've been to a laundromat yet that hasn't had at least a few of the machines broken. The free Wi-Fi is easily the best reason to come. I can do laundry and, as a grad student, study or just mess around online. I gave them the highest rating because one time I forgot to empty one of the dryers that had every single pair of jeans I owned (~$500) and I called an hour after they closed in a panic. A gentleman answered and very kindly let me into the building despite it being locked. It would be incredible if it was open a little later, but beyond that I have zero complaints. read more

I did my laundry here tonight and when I opened the dryer, smoke came out. Some of my sheets are literally burnt and I have to throw them out. The ones that aren't burnt smell terrible. I've tried calling the number listed, but no one answers and the mailbox is full. I go here often and something goes wrong frequently (quarter machine is out, machine won't work and I have to reload my clothes into another machine after I've paid, etc). Ruining my laundry is the last straw. By writing this review, I am hoping the owners of mad lark contact me to try and make up for their faulty machine. My white pillow case now has large burnt brown spots all over it. Don't risk your clothes going here. read more

This laudromat is in a great location. The parking is convenient, and there are plenty of bars and resturants in the area to relax at while you wait for your laundry. The place is clean and has many newer machines. read more

Last time I will ever go to Mad Lark's Laundromat on Madison / Lark. 10 of your 20 Washer machines have do not use on them and 8 of your 16 Dryer's are broken. and the remaining 8 are like slot machines, you don't know if your clothing will be shrunk, have a weird burning smell to them or just never get dried. Sincerely, Angry customer. I've been going to them for the last two years and the reason why I stayed with them is the bar's being close. Not worth it anymore, read more

Never opens on time. Always completely filthy. Anyone who give this place more than one star obviously has their head up their ass.

I use this place about once a week because it's close to my home. Pluses are it has parking. I'm giving it two stars because every other time I've used this place, there is an issue. Washing machine didn't drain so I have to re-start and repay for a new cycle, machine wouldn't start and I'd already paid (although there is a box you can leave your name/address and they will refund you via mail). One time I'd put all my clothes in a machine and smelled something kind of foul, so I took them out and there was poop in the machine. Literal human feces. I even got locked out of the place once with all my stuff inside because the owners neglected to reset the automatic locks when daylight savings time ended so they locked early. Thankfully there was a number online and someone answered. Why do I keep using Mad Lark? Again, its close to my house and most places around here don't offer parking, and, honestly, 50% of the time I have no issues, but I would think they could have someone stop by the place a few times throughout the day to remedy some of the preventable problems. read more
