Wow, I actually go out of my way to hit this "nicer" laundromat. The machines are cheap and I mean cheap. A 4 load wash is under $4 (I think it's $3.25 and you pay an extra .25 for hot water wash). The laundromat is always clean and I actually get my clothes dry quickly since the clean the lint traps regularly. I my experience... all laundromats are sweltering hot, I mean 50 dryers going all at once and you expect to be blissfully comfortable. Dream on. In the year that I have been going there, I have rarely seen machines out of order. I'd like to say twice, but possibly 3 times. Laundry is a suck ass chore, but at least I can knock it out in a decent place.
