    Laundromat on Sunday
    Julie R.

    This laundromat is clean and has many very fast machines available, many laundry carts to use to get your things from point A to point B, snack and detergent dispensing machines. They have machines of different sizes so it would be easy to wash bulky items like comforters here (they specify no rugs on some machines though -- bath mats are fine, and not sure if that includes all machines since many don't have that sign on them). One minor discomfort to me is how little seating there is to wait for your laundry. There are two rows of stools (one in the sun for much of the day) but you feel sort of in people's way there because it's crowded. There are two small picnic tables outside. Just not comfy to wait for an hour. Another minor inconvenience is that many of the machines and the laundry card dispenser itself are very finicky about reading your cards and their prompts are sometimes unclear. You have to slide a bunch to make it happen but you eventually get there. You do need to buy and load a laundry card from them to use the machines; they don't take coins or your credit card or anything. The laundry card dispenser and refill machine does take credit, debit, and ostensibly cash though we never tried cash. All in all, not my favorite place to spend an afternoon but it gets the job done!

    This laundromat has become increasingly frustrating and disappointing. On my visit today, 4 washers were not working. To make matters worse, eight dryers and an additional five washers are reserved for attendants only, leaving customers with extremely limited access to machines. While one gentleman on staff consistently provides good customer service, the overall experience has declined. There used to be a red-haired woman who was very attentive and kind--her customer service was excellent--but I'm not sure if she still works here. I won't comment on the other employees. What was especially upsetting today was being forced to unload all my laundry from the washers because no manager was available to authorize employees to change a large bill so I could reload my card. This lack of flexibility caused a major inconvenience and wasted my time. On top of that, customers are charged $2 just to obtain a laundry card, meaning you're paying before you even begin using the service. The rewards program has also been reduced, from a $5 bonus for every $20 spent to $3. While I understand inflation affects everyone, it's hard to justify when machines are frequently out of order or occupied by staff. After this experience, I drove a few miles to North Park and found a slightly cheaper, coin-operated laundromat on 38th Street. I plan to take my business there moving forward, as this location does not appear to be improving. This review is long overdue, and today was the final straw. Edit: replying to Charmaine employee Thank you for your response. I want to clarify a few points respectfully and accurately. You are correct that the $3 change policy begins after December 31st. However, what I referenced in my review is the business beginning to charge customers before services are used--specifically the new $2 charge for each laundry card, which is a recent change. I have been a loyal customer for about five years, washing here biweekly and spending approximately $75-$80 per visit. This card fee was not in place previously. Additionally, the $5 promotion is not new. I have consistently received the $5 bonus since I began washing here in 2020, so this is not a recent offering as implied. While I intentionally avoided naming individuals in my original review, I feel it's important to address customer service concerns. One particular staff member, Charmaine, has repeatedly displayed a negative and impatient attitude, not only toward customers, but also toward children. Families with small children should be aware that she appears easily annoyed and quick to complain, often watching children closely rather than offering understanding or assistance. While my own children are older, I have observed this behavior many times with other families. Regarding the situation mentioned, the employee did not attempt to call you. He had already called you minutes earlier about a different matter and was visibly frustrated. I was in the process of unloading six machines, so I'm unclear how it was assumed I was approached about it. I understand this is not a bank, but the tone and content of the response reflect poorly on customer service standards. Unfortunately, this experience represents a noticeable decline in what was once my go-to laundromat. I wish the business the best, but I hope customer service concerns are taken seriously moving forward.

    Came to do laundry on a Sunday afternoon. It was very empty. Maybe 2 or 3 people plus the employees. The manager rubbed us the wrong way. Came and talked to us and told us we had to take our dog out of the business. Which is fair. But it was the way she talked to her employees that felt very disrespectful and semi degrading. The prices were a bit higher than we are accustomed to. For the larger machines it was about 10 dollars to wash. Medium machines around 6 dollars. Small machines are 3 dollars. To dry is about 2 dollars for 30 minutes. You can't add time to it. So you need to wait until the machine expires in order to do another 30 minutes. There's a bunch of machines so you won't be fighting over any of it. There's a tv and they had cartoon movies playing. With closed captioning. There's music playing - top 40. To get started there's a card machine at the front of the store that you can get and upload cash on it. Parking is limited in the lot - 5 or 6 spots - plus there is street parking available. Vending machine available to purchase snacks and drinks.

    I've never left a review and I had to download Yelp for this but if you want to enjoy your day don't come here. Rude old lady owning this place. Yelled at me from the second I walked in, to following me to my car t. I forgot my clothes here and came back to get them she tried saying they didn't have it. A nice man walked to the back and handed me my clothes. She yelled at him too.

    DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS - DISGUSTING SERVICE & DISCRIMINATION…read more I hired 4th Ave Cleaners for wash-and-fold laundry for both my business and personal clothing. Before starting, I spoke directly with the owner, Ms. Mason, who assured me everything would be handled professionally and delivered in white bags or clean, see-through bags. That is NOT what happened. When I met the delivery driver and casually mentioned that I am Jewish, his entire demeanor changed. The attitude was immediate, uncomfortable, and unmistakable. I have never experienced antisemitism in San Diego before this. Then came the delivery. My laundry arrived:    *   DIRTY    *   Stuffed into BLACK TRASH BAGS    *   4 items MISSING    *   1 shirt COMPLETELY DESTROYED Let me be very clear: This was not a mistake. This was negligence at best and discriminatory behavior at worst. I trusted this company with clothing that represents my livelihood. What I received instead was disrespect, property damage, and a situation that felt targeted and degrading. This business failed on every level:    *   Hygiene    *   Professionalism    *   Accountability    *   Basic human decency If you value your belongings, your time, or your dignity -- STAY AWAY. I am urging anyone who has had similar experiences with lost items, damaged clothing, or discriminatory treatment from this business to come forward. This may warrant a class action lawsuit, and I am actively encouraging others to join in holding this company accountable. San Diego deserves better than this. ZERO STARS. Use this business at your own risk.

But most importantly, why is it called a "laundromat" instead of "laundrymat" anyway??? Dave runs a smooth ship, as this is one of the nicest and cleanest laundromats I have ever been to. They have your standard regular sized washers, but they also have giant 6 and 8 load machines that will have all of your blankets and comforters cleaned in a jiffy. So fresh and so clean clean. I was able to wash a large comforter, too big for a standard washer, along with another very large blanket and 3 standard "back of the couch" sized blankets in one of the 6 load washers for $9.25. Did I mention that they take cards? Although they do have a quarters machine (accepts $1s, $5s, and $10s), both the washers and dryers are one credit card swipe away from spinning their hearts out. It may not sound like much, but who wants to be stuck depositing 37 quarters to get that tumbler in motion. The dryers are seemingly new, very large, and quite fast. I was able to get all 5 items dryed in about 35 minutes while using two separate dryers. The dryers are run in short time increments, so it's no longer necessary to purchase a full 45 minute run when you only need a quick 20 minute dry. If you're pressed for time, take advantage of the fluff and fold laundry service that is $2lb for same day or $1.85lb for next day service. Conveniently, they also have laundry detergent for sale in case you forget your own. Dave, the owner, was really helpful with assisting me in determining the appropriately sized washer for my load, which was greatly appreciated. Not only did his doing so save me time, but it also saved me some cash. Thanks again Dave!

(I also have a history of bad experiences with the smaller load washers NOT spinning well so clothes are still on the wetter side and need more drying. then the dryers are hit or miss on their heat and drying ability which also used to vary the amount of time you got per quarter (eg used to vary from 18 to 21 min for$0.75 NOW I noticed it was only giving 5-min per quarter. oh and don't think 3 quarters will get a load dry. I average a min of $1.00 per SMALL load to typically $1.50 to $2.00 per load to dry. the day I had the 6 loads I actually split 2 load up thinking they would dry faster so I had 8 dryers. started the all with $1.00 and all needed from 2 to 6 more quarters to dry. so drying this day came to $13.00. my total washing and drying for the day came to $46.50 for 6 loads and 3+ hours of my day. the original owners used to run happy hour price on washers from like 6 am to 4 pm or so for like $2.25 a wash-but that was discontinued upon different owners. pros of the place are its, clean, usually no problem of washer/dryer availability, ample folding space, do ofnerdrop off fluff and fold, good/safe location (7-11 there as well as food and other businesses in location, parking available, machines take coins or card payment, always staffed, generally pet friendly...HOWEVER like everything today in this greedy world the increased pricing overshadows everything. enough to beg my landlord to put a washer-dryer in my rental (which they have agreed to do!). looking forward to a little extra change staying in my pocket and all the extra time ill now have for me and my dogs!
