West Ave Laundry Express

Since we travel quite a few months out of the year in an RV, we’ve been to many, many laundromats. I have to say this is the most expensive one we’ve ever been to. Here’s the story.
The laundromat is very clean. There are quite a few washers of varying sizes. The price varies with the size of the washer. Most of them indicate they’ll hold what normally would be 2, 3, 4 or even more loads of wash. The problem with that is occasionally you need a single load for those items where the color may bleed especially if the item hasn’t been washed before. A double washer costs you $ 3.50 and a single washer costs you $ 3.25. OUCH. I much prefer the singles but that doesn’t seem to be the way the laundry business is going.
The dryers are the real money eaters. Getting the dryer started is $ 1.00. Now that’s fairly normal. However, that $ 1.00 is only good for ten minutes! Another ouch! Normally a quarter gets you ten minutes but not a dollar. Should you need more time (and you will need more time) you can insert quarters. I discovered the first couple quarters gave me about 3 minutes more. Then, I discovered the next quarter gave me 2 minutes.
If I were a local, I would never return here. It’s a rip-​off. However, I’ve not visited other facilities in Crossville.
