Calderon Coin Laundry

i am so sick of this place. it is always semi dirty and there are certain driers that don’t get hot. the owners don’t fix them despite complaints. and the prices just went up! if you have a choice, choose a different laundromat.

Does the job. Convenient location from me and hours are 6 am to 1030 pm which probably works for most people including myself. Has a change machine for $ 1, 5 and 10 $ and a machine that dispenses detergent per load for .75. Plenty of washer an dryer machine, however the entire place seems outdated. Be careful
with the dryer because it appears you can only put in a quarter at a time (for 8 minutes) instead of multiple quarters for a longer period of time. it’s about $ 1.75 a load for approx 27 minutes. No bathroom or vending machines and it is always scorching inside. Does the job but I pretty much only go there due to location from my apt, if it wasn’t for the convenience I would probably go elsewhere.

Great prices, nice clean facility with lots of natural light.

I’ve been going to Calderon Coin Laundry for about 10 years. They are around the corner from me so it was convenient and the prices were reasonable ($ 1.50 wash /​25 cents per 8 minutes of drying). There have always been problems with various washers and dryers not working. They used to provide «out of service» tags that you could put on the machine to warn others but they don’t supply those anymore.
Over the course of the last few months things seem to have gone downhill. I have wasted so much time with washers that don’t work so I have to rewash a load, or dryers that do not dry or don’t even start after you put your money in. In the past I’ve been able to speak with the owner Makesh and he would investigate the issue and refund my lost money.
The last two times I saw him at the facility I let him know about the machines that were not working and both times he yelled at me in front of other customers and told me that he is the cheapest in town and I complain too much. He also did not refund the money I lost on a washer that did not do the rinse cycle and I had to rewash in another machine. Who knows what damage his poor equipment might be doing to my clothes.
You will never get my business again Makesh and I share my experiance with everyone in my neighborhood. It turns out that many of them have had similar experiences with you and now also use other laundries. There are a dozen other ones within a one mile radius.
I pay a little more now but my new laundry is clean, the machines are new and well maintained, they have vending machines, bathrooms, tv’s and they are staffed with nice people that can assist if you need anything.

I was using this place for my laundry for a while until one day it was packed full and forced me to use the one up the street on El Camino. I finally decided to go back to Calderon Coin tonight and realized that things happen for a reason, and the new place ended up being cheaper simply because the dryers take me 21 minutes to dry my clothes and not the 40-​odd minutes at Calderon Coin. The other place also has free wifi, open til 11pm and has a bathroom. Calderon’s dryers need major maintenance or replacement. I know that won’t happen after the owner told me he was probably going to have to close someday soon because of rent going up.
So, now I’m writing this review in my apartment while half my clothes and towels and bedding is hanging around my place hopefully dried by morning. I’m so disappointed in Calderon Coin after tonight, I definitely won’t be returning here.

Other than issues with closing and opening at unpredictable times, decent place to get laundry done. Pretty clean interior. ¾ industrial load washers, around 15 regular washers, and around 20 driers. Tables for folding, lawn furniture on the walls, change machine, detergent dispenser, wheeled baskets for moving laundry.
$ 1.50 per washer, 25 cents per 8 min on the drier. I put 1.5 loads in each drier and run for 48 – 56 min. Not the cheapest but mostly in good working order.
One complain I are the random open and close times. Posted hours are not correct most of the time. It says it opens at 6am and closes at 10.30pm, but these are more of suggestions than rules. They really open at around 7.30am and close around 9.30pm. If you’re not physically in the laundromat and not paying attention they’ll lock you out.
This happened once with me and 2 other cars waiting for over 60 min (from 9.45−10.45). Employee who closes up shop was in the back office for over an hour, at which point I gave up.

I needed to find a laundromat after i’d had enough crap from the laundry room at my apartment complex. Long story, let’s not get into it here.
This place was clean and bright for a dark and stormy night (no, YOU’RE an overused Bulwer-​Lytton opening line!). Top load washers were $ 1.50 each, but were severely lacking in water pressure, as was the wash basin. Not sure if this is a regular issue, but they worked, which is more than i can say for the washers where i live.
The dryers were a quarter for 8 minutes – not great, but better than my alternative. They supposedly fit three wash loads into one dryer, and seeing that i had two loads, i figured okay sure, this will save me a dollar or two. So i gave it about half an hour on high heat to see how it would go. Then i gave it about 15 minutes more. Then i gave it about 15 minutes more. Then i gave up. My clothing didn’t really get dry after over an hour (well, the smaller lighter articles did), and i don’t think the machine really got hot enough.
One plus: they have oversized washers for large loads (doubles and triples) that run for a couple dollars more. I’m sure these would be very useful if the water pressure were right.
All in all, not my best laundry experience ever, but by far not the worst.

Went here the other day to wash my bedding.
Small clean facility with large windows for excellent outside viewing.
Plenty of washers and dryer.
Able to access Google WiFi since there is an AP not far from the facility.
Laurdromat is located in a very small shopping area that has a small corner market, a Salvadorian restaurant and a hair salon.

This is where I head when I have a super big load of dud to wash, too big for my little stackable w/​d at home. The place is always clean, the machines are all in working order, and the little center in which it is is very nice as well.

I have been known to forget clothes. Not on purpose, but you know, you get busy, you get distracted and the next thing you know– where the h — - DID I leave my favorite shirt, socks, etc?
I pondered as to the location of my missing items off and on, then went back to Calderon after, oh– at least two months, and there were my clothes saved for me… in a big black yard bag. Oh joy. I am very glad that the manager is so honest so that I did get my clothes back. I see him around Mtn View with his family. Nice man, supportive of our city.
The laundromat is fairly clean. Not expensive and only overly busy late morning weekends. Works for me unitl I buy a new washer.

Well golly, how do you decide how many stars to give a laundromat? It’s not as though I am a connoisseur. Overall the place is just fine but not blowing-​me-​away wonderful. Then again, what can you expect?
The place appeared to be pretty clean when i visited on a quiet Friday afternoon. There are a good 20 washers and at least as many dryers. There are even a few of the industrial-​sized washers which would be great for those large bed spreads and the like. The prices are a bit more than the washing machine that is supposed to be working at my apartment ($ 1.50 for a load here, quarters only) but reasonable nonetheless. Google WiFi is plenty strong when sitting in one of the chairs near the front entrance.

Basic laundromat, prices seem reasonable. There are around 20 washers of varying size (regular to huge), and dryers that can accommodate up to 3 regular dryer loads. I’ve never seen an attendant, though there are almost always others doing their laundry. My only real complains are no TVs, and the door is typically open, so it can get a bit cold during the winter. There’s a weak, but stable, Google WiFi signal.
Hours are 6AM — 10PM (last load at 9PM).
