Mi-34th Laundromat

Usually clean, but generally in disrepair, and don’t expect much service.
Before I first started using this laundromat I had looked inside and saw it seemed to be in decent condition, and had plenty of good machines.
When I actually started doing laundry I noticed a few things that hint that while they spent quite a bit of money when they first built it, they seem to have skimped on upkeep and repair. There are a few misc. things about the building that could use improvement. For one, the tile floor has holes in it, exposing the boards below.
The disrepair is most noticeable in the machines, many of which are broken. There are usually but not always enough machines for all patrons, and new customers will have to figure out for themselves which ones actually work.
Further nuisance: The quarter machine only takes ones, because it hasn’t been updated to handle the new bills.
The service is often poor. Maybe it’s just because I only go on weekends, but that’s no excuse for sometimes having an attendant who doesn’t speak English. I had to ask a random unsavory-​looking guy loitering on the steps when they closed.
Oh yeah, and there’s no AC. Not fun in the middle of July with all the dryers running.
Now, with all that I still go there because they are pretty close, and the machines that are still working are nice and big, so I can wash my stuff in fewer loads. It’s not great, and I’d really prefer to have my own washer/​dryer unit, but as that’s not likely to happen I’ll keep going here and live with it. Once you get used to the place it’s not so bad, and it’s relatively cheap given the size of the machines. The disrepair is understandable given the neighborhood, and doesn’t usually get in the way of getting your laundry done, even if it makes it somewhat unpleasant.
