Lee’s Laundromat

I wish I can give negative stars on this laundry place. We lost our laundry today just stepping out to grab a quick lunch while the wash still have 40 minutes to go. What we dislike the most is the owner’s attitude. We live just a few blocks away and always like to support the local business but I guess we have to stay away from this place. We were not asking owner to pay us back anything since the laundry does not worth too much. The owner did not even say sorry. She gave us the feeling like too bad, you guys deserve it because you were not literally sitting there and watching your laundry.

Parking is competitive but never impossible in my experience. There’s a diverse selection of washers from rows of smaller $ 3.95’s to a single, borderline military-​grade super washer that is upwards of $ 8 if I recall, plus a window concession for when you forget detergents (but why would you?).
I like the key card system they employ, which is convenient to load money onto through through two kiosks. It’s only a $ 1 to get one and you’d never need another one save for losing it, which is no biggie, plus an ATM for when you need the cash to load value onto it which also only has a $ 1 transaction fee.
The floors always nice and the clientele it attracts are always non-​obtrusive at their worst and polite at their best. I mean, I usually go Saturday afternoons and there’s always some space to be had for washing, drying, and folding. Not to mention all the nearby businesses to keep you busy until your laundry is done like Mexican and Asian eateries, burgers, clothing outlets, thrift stores, and a milk tea café. It also has free wifi: not exactly blazing fast but it helps when you need to watch your data consumption.

The wife and i are regulars here. The laundromat is clean and big and their complimentary wifi is pretty good. So far so good right? So why the 2 stars you ask? Well there was one occassion where their machines failed to reload our card after putting in 5 dollars on it. My wife tried to get a refund but the lady denied saying «she does not have any proof of purchase» my wife pointed out a cctv camera pointing towards her and the machine and said that they can check their cameras so they can see that she did made the purchase. But the lady just told her their cameras dont really work there, therefore there will be no refund and walked away. I was blown away by how bad they handled that situation. I know its just 5 dollars but dang that lady was rude. I just told my wife to let it go because there’s no point in trying to argue. Sadly, this place is still really close to our home and the rates are good so we still go here. But if we had any other options as good we’ll probably make the move without any hesitation.

This place is huge, affordable and most importantly clean. There are always washers and those rolling basket things available. Dryers can be a little competitive on a Sunday afternoon, but I’m sure there’s lots of availability on other days. They use a card system (it’s $ 1 but is reusable) that requires cash but they also have an ATM (that only charges $ 1) close by. Also if you put $ 20 on the cars you get an extra $ 2 bonus.

Clean, affordable, well managed. People contribute to maintaining the place clean as well. New favorite laundromat

This place is a lundromat. I don’t expect anything special. It’s about $ 4 per load wash, they have vending machines for food while you wait. There are plenty of roller carts to move your clothes around. A positive that turns negative is the cleanlyness. The place is clean. There is a lady that cleans constantly. Normally this is a positive but it turns negative when she keeps hitting you with the mop. The WiFi doesn’t work, but there is a big parking lot.

If I could give it zero stars due to the very rude woman who did not honor their posted «last wash at 10 pm» policy, I would. I arrived around 9:55 pm with one load of wash which would have been done before 10:30 pm (they close at 11 pm) but the Vietnamese female attendant walked right up to me and basically got in my face to tell me no, I had to leave. At least, that’s the impression she gave since she spoke in Vietnamese and blocked my way and kept shifting closer. As a human being, I do NOT appreciate having my personal space invaded and violated (there is no reason she had to be that close to me).
Obviously she didn’t understand what «last wash at 10 pm» means because I would have gotten my wash started before then. «Understand» meaning that she conveniently decided it was past 10 pm and just wanted to close up shop earlier. What a liar she is. She kept saying «tomorrow», «tomorrow», as if people coming in on a Friday night to do laundry has a lot of free time. No one needs this aggravation, especially a paying customer who will never return thanks to her. Thumbs DOWN. There are other laundromats in the area to do business at.

After so many lame laundromat places in the Palo Alto area, I had to come check this place out after reading the reviews. I drove all the way from East Palo Alto to check this place out. I tried it and I’m in love! lol the struggle for a decent laundromat is real and happy that it’s over haha

This place isn’t to bad i like coming here because its clean and the have a huge washer that i use when i have 2 weeks of cloths and sheets to wash and they have a few places to eat at when you get hungry i also like because i can get my car washed at the same time across the street from there and everything is in walking distance which makes it easier.

We needed to do some laundry while visiting the Bay Area and the hotel laundry service was so expensive.
We just ran into Lee’s Laundromat. And what a blessing. The place is so clean, floors are sparkling, smells like Mr. Clean was just there. Bring your own soap and softener (go to CVS or Target). They have detergent there, a little pricey. There is a bathroom. Free wifi. And industrial washers and dryers.
Please don’t qoute me on the prices, but is close to it.
Small wash is $ 2.95 (28 minute wash)
Large wash $ 3.95 (28 minute wash)
$ 0.35 for 10 minute for a dryer.
You put money into a laundry card (Like a debt card) and use that card to swipe into the machines to use.

Time for our annual sleeping bag — wash-​a– thon where we usually go to a dingy, cramped and sketchy looking laundromat. Before we moved out to CV, we got a flyer advertising the grand opening of Lee’s Laundromat the pictures looked convincing, but was it really?
Turns out it really is! There are two mega industrial washers on addition to a regular industrial washer along with normal sized washers and dryers. A few other bonuses: there is an actual attendant on site cleaning, the bathroom is very clean, the facility overall is clean, they also sell bags, and laundering supplies. Few cons: the supplies are expensive, the atm and laundry card costs 1.00 and you can’t put change on the card dollar bills only.

I go to lee’s once a week and I have never been to a spot like this. It’s super clean, cool inside and free wifi. They also use a card system so no more dealing with change. The machines are nice clean and big, depending on your needs. Nice place and the workers here stay cleaning something. And big screen TV’S for your viewing pleasure.

This place is modern, well lit and clean. Lots of amenities. There is someone constantly cleaning here. I drive here every week from across town. On that drive I pass 3 other laundromats. It’s well worth it though. Check out the user pics and other reviews.

They have clean and new machines but the staff working is ridiculously rude. The machine took my money and they sat there trying to say I was lying. I explained to them I washed my loads twice. Yes I brought my gross hairy dog stuff to a laundromat instead of using my machines at home lol
Everything is computerized and they sat looking at my card history until it finally clicked oh «you’re right». I told them I know I am right why would I lie about $ 8.50? Then they kept trying to explain why they thought I was lying. I don’t care. I had to tell them multiple times to leave me alone. The staff doesn’t speak or understand English. I am ok with not speaking English, but they should at least know the computer system to avoid wrongly accusing people. The man who «helps» the staff has the worst breath EVER!!! He was talking about how rude most of the customers are and how they complain the staff doesn’t speak English.
I started talking to the other people doing their laundry and they have all had some sort of bad experience with the staff. Guess they keep coming back because the machines are new and clean?
Free wifi is cool and there was plenty of parking and lots of baskets.

This is by far the cleanest laundromat I’ve EVER been to! Why? Because they have people actually walking around sweeping the floor up, wiping the machines down, and making sure all the machines are working correctly. Also they have this lite store inside selling all your laundry detergents etc! What’s also good about this place is that they have this machine which you pay for a reloadable card ($ 1) that you use for all machines! How convenient! There’s an ATM machine as well as a bill changer machine that changes 5,10,&$ 20 bills to ones and fives so you can reload your card. No coins though so don’t forget! Also they have your typical vending machines with not such a bad selection if you ask me!
Yes there may be a language barrier with some of the workers but you need to remember they’re just doing their job of keeping this place running efficiently?
Also in my pictures you will see each machine with the prices of the loads!

*Writing a Unilocal review while doing my laundry*
I pass by this place a few times and I asked my mom, «is that laundromat good? It seems ghetto!»
Then replied, «Not at all, it’s one of the best and the cleanest.»
Months later, I moved into Hayward residing with my mother for temporary stay. We do not have washing/​dryer system in our home, and my clothes are piling up! They all need to be washed! Ugh! The drive was short, only 2 minutes from home! :)
The parking lot is spacious, plenty of them everywhere. There are a lot of carts you can use to put in clothes to transport them into the washing machines/​dryers. This is a total plus because at other laundromat places they don’t have many carts as this place.
When I entered into the facility, the first thing in mind was the cleanliness. Super clean. There are a couple ladies that work here dusting the top of washing machines, tables, etc. It’s so spotless. They are plenty of different sizes for your needs — small, medium, large, extra large, super larger and GIGANTIC LARGE. Yes, I said it. There’s this big commercial washing machine that’s like a size of a bank vault… Pretty cool looking though.
It has a re-​loadable card system — no hassle of using COINS!!! $ 1 to purchase a new card. It also has a mini laundry store to buy soap and such as well.
I don’t think you can get bored here and you can easily finish your dirty laundry within an hour. It is built with wifi as well! Happy washing.

So my boyfriend lives in Hayward and since I live in San Francisco living in a house, I never experience doing laundry on those coin operating machine at all not until I did it here. As a first timer, this place made it a fun experience for me. It was spacey, high ceiling and clean. I saw the biggest washing machine Ive eva seen here and it was cool! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The fact that the facility is always clean while others are small and closes early, This is our laundry place and will never go somewhere else!
Pros:
FREE-​WI-​Fi
CLEAN
Big Variety Washers
Affordable
Vending Machines
Waiting area
Private Parking Lot
Awesome staff
Cons: NONE
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!

Best laundromat around. I have been coming here since they first opened. The man who owns the place is very nice and they keep it clean.
I live in west oakland and I only come to this laundromat.

So happy I found this place. I live in San Leandro by the Marina and I don’t mind the drive to come here. It is very clean, very afordable and the staff are awesome.
Big variety in washer sizes and cost. From $ 1.95 for a basic one load to $ 12.95 for the mega industrial washer. $ 0.35 for 10 minutes of drying or I think the bigger dryer is $ 0.55 for 10 minutes. Dryers actually WORK unlike other places that take 60 minutes to dry… this place… 30 minutes for 2 loads on some clothes.
Staff is constantly cleaning, helping and saying hello. Big flat screens to watch. A few tables, lots of benches and fully stocked vending machines.
Look out for coupons in the «junk mail».
Same shopping center as Subway, Little Cesars and even a bar if that is what you want to do to kill time.

I don’t usually use laundromat facilities, but there are certain household items that just won’t fit into your standard home washer/​dryer (ie large quilts, blankets, mats, etc).
I would say avoid the weekends. It gets busy but there were still a lot of washers to choose from. There were washers of maybe 6 sizes (price ranging from $ 1.95 for your standard-​sized washer to $ 12.95 for an industrial-​sized one). I used the 3^rd largest washer for $ 6.75 and took 30 minutes to finish… not bad at all! I think it was a lot more expensive in the one by FoodMax in the GreenHouse Marketplace. The dryers cost $ 0.35 for 10 minutes, about your standard-​sized dryer. The downside to this is that you have to keep checking to see if your load is dry or if you need to add more time.
I took advantage of the $ 20 for $ 40 value reloadable card ($ 1 fee for the card). It’s so nice not having to worry about change. You can use the computer machine to load more money. There was also an ATM and bill change machine. If you run out of detergent, fabric softener, or bleach, there is a little store for you to purchase from. If you’re hungry, there were also vending machines and 2 tables for eating. Other than those tables and a line of seats, that was all the available options for sitting, unless you want to sit in your car.
The laundromat was ideally located at the end of the strip mall where there are more parking and 2 entrances to the place. There are plenty of carts for you to transport your laundry to and from your car and around the laundromat. There were 2 attendants there when I went last Saturday.
Next time, I will try to go after work to avoid families with the kids running around.
