Dad’s Maytag Laundry

it was horrible… I went into there and there heavy duty machine was 6.00 SO EXPENSIVE. anyways while my laundry was in the machine IT BROKE and I was sitting there for an extra 45 minutes so I could get my laundry out. I kindly asked for at least some money to be able to dry my wet laundry anyways this rude lady (the manager) and the worker told me to take my wet laundry and dry it somewhere else and to get out ! how rude. keep in mind they made me carry wet laundry all the way home. never go there the showers are dirty it’s old machines and expensive and the people are rude! never go there !! there is a better, cheaper, cleaner, newer, laundromat it’s called village laundry and its on st. vrain ave with much better prices, service snd machines

Great spot to do laundry in town; they only have a couple large machines, but they have good prices and really friendly service.
The laundromat is tucked away in the top corner of the Stanley Village shopping center, near the café and hardware store. The owner is exceptionally friendly and engaging, and welcomes everyone in and offers assistance. She stated that their family has owned this laundromat for 27 years, and the local pride shows.
$ 2.00 for a small washer, $ 6.00 for a large. $ 1.25 for a small dryer for 45 minutes, $ 0.25 for seven and a half minutes in the large one.
The only downside is that there’s no WiFi, so bring a book or stroll down to Safeway, grab a coffee and sit in the wee Starbucks for free internet.

If you’re camping in the area and need a shower, this place will work. It’s not exactly a luxury bathroom, but there’s hot water and it was clean. The woman I dealt with was very nice, and there wasn’t a time limit or anything. Showers were $ 6, and there’s plenty of stuff in this strip mall to keep you entertained if you get done early and have to wait on a friend.

We stopped here for a shower twice while camping in RMNP. No frills place was clean and the staff was friendly. We did not have to wait but others were waiting when we left. Located in the same shopping center as Safeway in the back corner near the Ace Hardware-​$ 5 for a shower.

DIRTY, EXPENSIVE, AND RUDE!!! The place is nearly impossible to find, even with a gps. The showers were small and dirty. The worst part was it is $ 5 per person and the attendant was super nice BEFORE she took our money. she said we had as much time as we needed for that price. but once we went in, the lady came around and ran both men and women out if the shower. She told them to get their stuff and move on. And these were people who had only been in there maybe 6 – 8 minutes. they even have signs posted about wiping the shower wall down and not using much hot water. In 2,000 miles of traveling, this was by far the worst shower we paid for! do yourself a huge favor and get a shower at the KOA!

This place was hard to find. It is hidden and even with the great directions from David M., it took us several tries to locate it.
We were just glad a laundromat existed in Estes Park as we were in desperate need of washing our clothes and we still had several days left to go in our road trip.
Place is nice and large. Plenty of machines to choose from. They are very old though and do not work very well. Our clothes came out of the dryer still damp and we had to hang them all over the hotel room overnight.
Big plus is the kid friendly wait area. They have lots of coloring books, crayons and a TV to keep the kids occupied. For the adults, there were plenty of magazines.
Another big plus is the friendly staff. They were more than happy to talk to us at length about the best places to visit in the park and the town.
My first thought was the laundry was a bit pricey, but I haven’t had to go to a laundromat for 10 years when I would pay $ 1.50 for a load (including washer and dryer). I doubt those prices are relevant anymore especially considering that was at an apartment laundromat, not a public one.

Previous reviewer David M hit the nail on the head when he compared finding showers in Estes Park to finding a public bathroom in NYC; there is not another pay shower to be found (at least, not easily). Are you hearing me, Estes Park? Someone who is ready to make a LOT of money simply needs to open a dedicated shower business and undersell Dad’s Maytag.
Sadly (and I disagree with David M on this point), Dad’s Maytag is far from a «deal.» We rushed from our hikes every day desperate for a shower, only to pay what we felt was exorbitant compared to those in Ouray, CO ($ 3) and Mesa Verde, CO. They raised prices and limited hours between David’s review and our trip, evidently.
So desperate were we to not support expensive showers, we attempted the solar shower in RMNP without the right equipment. At that rate, Dad’s Maytag is a damn sight better than cold water in a 60-​degree breeze. And Dad’s Maytag knows it.

Finding shower facilities near RMNP is nearly as difficult as finding a public restroom in NYC. I finally found them at Dad’s Maytag Laundry & Showers. If you’re on a journey to «find yourself» in the mountains but think smelling your ever-​worsening BO is getting to know yourself a little too well, come here.
Drive into the shopping center with the Safeway and keep driving to the northwest corner of the strip center. The laundromat is in the very corner. A washer is $ 1.50 and dryers are $ 1.25. Hours are 7am — 7pm.
You can also take a shower here for $ 5. After spending several days wandering through the woods vainly attempting to think deep thoughts, I cannot begin to explain what a bargain $ 5 is to feel clean again! You get a private stall, you can control the temperature of the water, and the hot water comes on immediately. Bring everything you need — soap, towel, flip flops, etc. because they’re not provided (but these items are available for purchase).
Everything you forgot to bring from home is for sale or rent here. A single-​use box of detergent is $ 1.25, and irons, dryer sheets, hand soap, towels, shaving cream, razors, etc. are available, and there’s a change machine too. You could walk in here with nothing but a $ 20 bill and walk out laundered, showered, and groomed. What a deal!
