Laundromat on Broadway

Initially I only gave a 2 star review and here is why: I went to do my laundry there on Saturday morning January 30, 2015 at around 8 am. Nice clean place. Spent $ 15 just doing my wash (had allot of bedding to wash), smooth sailing until I needed more change to dry. That’s when it all went to hell. Put in my $ 5 and the machine went crazy then took my bill and didn’t give me any change. It was my last small bill. Walked over to Loma liquor to see if they had any information about who ran the laundry mat and how I could get my $ back. They told me to just fill out the slip and that someone would contact me. Thankfully they broke a 20 I had so that I could finish my laundry. It would be nice if this place had contact # to inform management about the situation. I filled out the paper work left my contact information and still nothing (I was so flustered by the situation I accidentally wrote down date as 1÷20÷2016 on form when it should have been 1÷30÷2016). Well that was Saturday and I have not heard a word from anyone. Maybe I’ll hear from them today.
Update 2÷3÷16 they sent me back my $ 5
Changed my rating to 4 stars. They should still have a better way to contact (maybe via email) them so that is the reason I didn’t give 5 stars. So glad and surprised they actually sent me a $ 5 bill. No note or anything just a blank piece of paper with the bill folded neatly inside. Still going to take my laundry here just going to bring smaller bills in case it happens again. :)

I like this laundromat. It’s clean, in a decent part of town and the patrons are generally good people. However, there has been a hobo that is ALWAYS there lately. I’m pretty sure the guy is a heroine junkie because he often goes into the bathroom for hours at a time and doesn’t come out. He might be shooting up in there. I’m also pretty sure the dealer is hanging out there now too, because he’s been hanging out in front of the place on his silver moped and I’ve seen at least three different hobos walk up and have a conversation with him.
I wish there was a number that I could call the owner to tell him this is going on, but there isn’t and I don’t want to call the cops and sit there for an hour giving a police report. I really wish they’d do something about these guys.

Clean, safe, next to a great Thai restaurant and a liquor store. They have wifi, 2 change machines and multiple size washer and dryers. People that go here are friendly and quiet. Parking is tight during lunch and dinner hours.

This place sucks! The change machine wouldn’t take any of my dollar bills, and when I put it a five the machine went psycho and ate the bill. No one works here mind you so who can I tell? There is no number listed to call so who do I talk to? Thanks for ripping me off,

I go to this laundromat cause it’s pretty big and opens 6am to 10 pm. It’s clean and I see someone thoroughly clean the place around 9pm. There’s lots of machines, with a lot of updated machines that clean quickly. The dryers work very well. Sometimes I only have a load in for 20 mins (.25 for 10 mins) and it’s completely dry. The downside is besides the person that cleans at night, I’ve never seen an attendant throughout the day. So if something malfunctions I wouldn’t know what to do. It’s coin operated and the largest bill they accept is a $ 10, so I usually have to break a $ 20 somehow to get coins. The parking lot is small and shares it with a restaurant and grocery store, although I’ve always gotten a spot. Overall I’ve had good experiences here.

Still love this laundromat! Always clean. Great value for the size of machines. Nothing wrong here. Dryers work wonderfully. Note, coin machine does not take $ 20… Go to the liquor store to break it. Otherwise this is the cleanest place and machines clean my clothes… I’m pretty picky on how I separate stuff… So this place rocks.

I have been doing laundry here for years. It appears this Landry mat was taken over by the landlord about a year ago. I come every week to do my laundry. Today I was accosted rudely by a short, skinny man demanding to know what I am doing there and wants to tow my car away from the parking lot. He claimed to be the owner. When I told him that I am doing my laundry there. He turned around and walk towards my car with him phone in hand, as if he is calling the tow company. So, I will never come back here again, to say the least.
Plus, he kept his poor, little dog in the hot van for a long time while he stood in the shade. He put his own pet in danger. Very bad example of a business person and pet owner.

I never thought I’d be washing at a laundromat, but this place is clean. We decided to try it out because the machines are all shiny, there are no broken machines, everything appears to be maintained well, and there are no bums in site. Based on previous reviews, their machines are all new. 25 cents for 10 mins for the dryer. One load $ 1.75, a double loader $ 2.25, and they have machines for even larger washes. Free wifi, a television, a bathroom, some benches, security cameras, their own parking lot, and two change machines. Hope this place stays nice. Let’s keep it nice!

Update: All new machines (washers and dryers) went in a couple of months ago. They now have a larger assortment of washer and dryer sizes to choose from, and I’m saving money. I love this place.
The only drawback to the remodel is that more folks come here now, and during the laundromat’s busiest times, the parking lot gets packed.

They have washing machines that could hold up to 6 loads for $ 5.50! I think it’s pretty cleab and they have a tv, so you’re not too too bored waiting for your laundry to get done. The facility has an attendant who makes sure that the lint dryer bins are clean and the whole place is neat. It’s my first time coming here, but I think I will start to use this laundromat more often in the future.

It’s a bummer because this place is big with lots of machines, but none of them do the job! The washers leak and take FOREVER to finish. The dryers are horrible. You will spend endless amounts of dollars trying to get them to dry but even on high heat for over an hour your clothes are still damp. Just not worth the time. With limited laundry mats in Long Beach it’s a shame to have a nice one that sucks and just doesn’t work.

Brand new fully functional washers and dryers plus wifi that actually works! Perhaps there is a laundry god.

Been comin here since 99′. Pretty cool spot.
They just got ALL NEW EQUIPTMENT!
Nuff said!

hate doing laundry… BUT i guess i’ve gotta. my apt doesn’t have machines, so i gotta make a trip here once a week. it’s across the street from where i live, so it’s super convenient and they’ve got a liquor store next door to grab snacks and anything else you need while waiting for your laundry. i don’t care for all those fancy schmancy washing machines, laundry cards, arcade games, etc. you’re doing fricking laundry! come on now. there are about 6 or 7 large 35 pound washers and a ton of the single load machines. even on busier days, there are always enough of them open. $ 1.75 for the single loads. $ 3.75 for the large washers. takes about 25 minutes. driers are $.25 for every ten minutes. some of the people here are kind of creepy… some of them are really nice (nice lady told me how to get my money back when a machine wouldn’t work-​AND they were so good and fast about it… got my money back within 4 days)…but most of them like to just keep to themselves, get their shit done and leave. i usually just bring my laptop and watch my hulu in the car. the only downside i’d say is that they can definitely use more carts. on sundays, when they tend to get a bit busier, it seems like you have to almost get aggressive with them. but overall, it’s a good place to get your laundry done.

Soo another laundry night on broadway. and a much better experience. It was much cleaner and kudos for the wi-​fi!

Nice clean place to do laundry. Haven’t seen it that busy here ever. All the machines are top loading with an exception of 5 front loading large washers.
I would give 5 stars if they had newer machines, but for the price, convenience, and cleanliness, this place gets 4.

Dirty dirty dirty. Ewww!
We went in on a Thursday evening and it was empty… well, except for the bum lying on the bench.
The machines were ancient. I don’t really care about fancy equipment, but washers with hard water stains are not appealing. I slipped on a puddle of water in front of the washer. Dirty water, which means it was sitting there for a while.
The cleaning lady came in shortly after we arrived. She went directly to the back and plugged in 13″ television from the cleaning closet. We listened to Spanish telenovelas for an hour. *Side note… I decided that evening that I would become fluent in Spanish so I can be on a Spanish soap opera* We watched the cleaning lady take her time cleaning, very half assed.
As said previously, I don’t care ’bout fancy laundry facilities. They’re usually overpriced (not much more than this joint, actually), and too crowded. I wouldn’t mind though, a TV and/​or WiFi to pass the time.
Oh, I hit my head on the counter behind the bench when I sat down, and it hurt like a mofo.

When I wet the bed I come here to wash my sheets. I also go here to do my laundry and it cleans my clothes. I never really went to a laundry mat before I lived down here in LB so i’m not sure if it’s cheap or expensive but it is convenient and the people who do their clothes there are halfway normal. It’s $ 1.75 a wash, ouch. $.25 for ten minutes of drying. I have suggestions.
1. Put in a flat screen TV or a few with sound you can tune into with your headset (like at the gym).
2. Install a «Coinstar» type system that lets you dump ANY CHANGE into it! Let that little sucker spit out a card like at Dave & Busters that would have credits on it.
3. Make it so that you have to swipe your card at the Washer or Dryer to activate it (Like a Video Game at D&B’s) Use a Credit System instead of Coins, what year are we in again?!
4. WiFi
5. A Refreshment Stand, or a Bar, or Tables and Chairs! Half the time I walk down to the library to get coffee while my clothes dry. As the owner of this place why not capitalize on your captive audience?
6. A News Stand.
Other than the above this place works. It cleans my clothes. Why can’t someone do a modern update of the Laundry Mat? Steal my ideas! Go ahead!

Thank You for reminding me why I stopped doing my laundry here in the first place.
I put up with your always being busy.
I put up with your dryers that took forever.
I put up with your dryers forever not working.
I put up with the odd people who frequented you.
Then one day I realized that I didn’t have to do that.
There were plenty more places to go that offered
the same thing you did, just in a different package.
That place ended up being Coin Laundry in Westminster
LINK! :
After going there, I swore that I wouldn’t go back to this place. Well a few weeks ago we weren’t feeling like going to our laundromat and instead went to this one as it’s right down the street. Bad idea… we dealt with the crowd, with the slow dryers and not only that and the washer’s the didn’t get some of our clothes clean. We also dropped
one of our laundry net bags while transporting our clothes from the washer to the dry (by hand because nobody would part with their cart even for a minute.) and instead of setting it on the counter or saying anything, they had the nerve to toss it in the garbage which is were we found it during our search for the lost bag.
NEVER AGAIN!
I don’t care how we are feeling, we’re never going back, we will continue to go to our laundromat as we should have done in the first place.

This used to be my laundromat that I lovingly referred to as «Fluff Dry with each Wash.» Buuuuut, this place has gone down hill recently. It’s very close to where I live, but the weirdos seem to flock here.
It used to be quiet and well-​kept. If you were there late finishing up, the caretaker would always chit chat with you about whatever. But the last few times we’ve been there, I’ve been less than impressed.
Let’s see, first there was the homeless couple that, granted were doing laundry, but every 10 minutes or so one of them would go into the bathroom. I wasn’t sure if they were changing their clothes or doing drugs. It was just weird.
Then there was the homeless guy who was not doing laundry, just sitting inside (escaping the rain I imagine) ranting and listening to his portable radio VERY LOUDLY. I was almost ready to go stand out in the rain to save my ear drums.
And last time we were there, I set a cart next to my washer because it was aiming to be done momentarily and I needed to walk over to give the boy the dryer sheets. There are plenty of other carts not being used, but some little fat guy goes over and takes mine. WTF? Rude! He has like twenty loads and starts invading our personal space to get them into all the dryers right around ours even though there were plenty on the other side not being used. Just weird.
After those few incidents, we decided to start shopping around for a new laundromat. Makes me a little sad since it’s so close and I’ve been going there for years, but you do what you gotta do.
