Colonial Village Laundromat

I Have been coming here for years, ever since a laundromat just over the line in Lowell was no longer suitable because of lots of broken machines and bad attitudes by the staff. This laundromat has a great staff, Mike in particular, it has clean bathrooms, snack machines, TVs, and free Wi-​Fi. It’s a fairly well maintained, clean laundromat that you feel safe coming to even late at night. They are open 24 hours 7 days a week. Recently though, I have noticed that there are a lot of washers that are in need of repair. The laundromat is still sparkling clean and there are still plenty of machines. I am wondering if the delay in maintenance has anything to do with the new ownership that the laundromat is under. I sincerely hope that all the machines are fixed soon because I do love coming to this laundromat.

Totally awesome! I’m a huge fan of wash and fold services, and these guys are the best. Shirts were ironed and hung on a actual hangers which were given to me. Can’t beat that for .80 cents a pound!

Biggest best laundromat I’ve ever been to. Coin operated. Plenty of washers and dryers. There on a Sunday and it was no problem getting things done. Nice tv’s. Wifi. Open 24 hours. Two huge clean bathrooms. Supplies if you need them. Alcohol is the only thing that «might» make this place better!

Overall it’s a good spot to do your laundry. They have discount times on Tues, Wed, and Thursdays (only a quarter off). There are 5 big machines (mostly always taken), around 10 35lb machines and many smaller machines. The big machines go for 7 bucks. They also have two super huge machines ive never used. Drying is 7 minutes per quarter. There’s a bathroom, wifi, snack machine and drop off laundry. They also have tvs scattered throughout.
Tip: go during the week if you don’t want to wait for the big machines

This place is def. Outta the way butttt it is a great place to wash clothes if you’re in the neighborhood! The staff is friendly this place is clean and they hav specials wed-​Friday!

So, when I discovered this place I was in awe. This is a cleaner, newer laundromat than most and it’s open 24 hrs, has free wi-​fi and a number of tv’s.
Only problem? It seems a lot of other folks know how good it is too. They closed off ¹⁄₃ of the place to create new retail space as well. This move, while I’m sure great for the business, now means the place is more crowded and tougher to do work in. I had to dock it a star for that.
Oh, a deal too. Machines start at $ 1.50 and the driers are .25 per 10 min.
Pass

OK, I know this place isn’t accessible via public transportation and is not in Boston but the good far outweighs that minor detail. The most important thing is that’s it’s open 24 hrs a day 7 days a week!!!
I am a night shift nurse and I absolutely cannot sleep on my nights off without some major tranquilizers. I had to wash almost everything I owned (not exaggerating), including out of season crap. I had been on a travel assignment and packed in a hurry. My husband refuses to put his clothing in drawers, baskets or boxes. We have 2 cats. Everything on the floor was therefore by default considered dirty. We looked online and tried Unilocal but couldn’t find a closer place, decided it would be worth the trip.
If a laundromat could be considered divine, this would be very close. At 2am on a weekend night there were only about 4 other ppl there and one was a toddler (yes, at 2am). The place has more machines than I’ve even seen in one spot. About 30 regular sized washers, 25– 35 lb loaders, at least 10 or 15– 50lb loaders and some ones that were so big I could’ve washed my hubby in one too (remember Beavis and Butthead?). There were at least 50 dryers. They also have a bunch of those spinners you can put your wet stuff in between washing and drying to get excess water out. Thank God, b/​c those big washers have a crappy spin cycle and everything takes forever to dry if you don’t spin them in that thing.
We did approximately 75−100lbs of laundry in 90 minutes. It helped that we split up the laundry into about 20 dryers at 8 min each. I love it when I can get away with that. The folding was the most lengthy task.
At night there is video monitoring but no attendant. They have an ATM, a bill breaker (from 20’s and 10’s to 5’s) and a change machine, as well as vending machines with all the soap and laundry stuff. They have coke machines and a snack machine. Bring your own snacks… the drinks were normal stuff. There is an area with booths that looks like they might serve coffee in during the day. One of the coolest features was the WIFI. I spent the whole time running around and switching stuff but it’s a good idea for those ppl who will not leave their laptop at home.
My only words of caution– when you pick a machine, stick a quarter in first because we filled a 35 lber and then found that a coin had been jammed in diagonally. After using most of my tool kit to try to remove it, we just picked another washer.
