Spent a month at this park. Great location in the town, quiet, laundry on site, easy booking and the owner even came by to tell us thank you for staying on our last night. Only downfalls is the dust but that’s everywhere in the town. There’s a dog from a house nearby that is vary sweet but likes to snatch stuff, she just had babies and seems hungry. She won’t hurt anyone just playful Would recomm... Spent a month at this park.

One time a lady who cleans here told me to not wash dog stuff. When it was just a bathroom rug. Since then I have not done so. Today this same lady came up to me told me I told you not to wash dog stuff. All I told her is I do not wash dog stuff. She said we'll someone told me they came here and their was dog hair in the washer. I said I don't there is other people more than me who comes here to...

She said we'll someone told me they came here and their was dog hair in the washer. I said I don't there is other people more than me who comes here to wash their clothes. Is all I said . Then as I was getting my clothes out of the dryer she opened the dryer compartment in front of me as rudely as possible cz she didn't believe what I said was true cz of what someone told her about finding dog hair in the washer. She did this to each of my dryers. All of the compartments were empty and not one dog hair. She said this is clean to each one then closed each one back and left. Not one time did she apologize or say she was sorry for her constantly hate bashing me with words the two times I saw her. Yet this place is always out of toilet paper , hand washing soap and is always dirty. yet she chooses to be hateful. When I pay money to washand dry my clothes. I guarantee i can take my money to the Odessa wash them up #6 on john ben shepherd boulevard. they are nice to me there. All I have to say is out of all the people who wash here for you to pick me to yell at. who isn't from here even. you should have made sure it was me or apologized when she found out it wasn't me. After all there is cameras. May i suggest you use them to tell the one who is doing this. instead of yelling at all the full time rv'ers that isn't from here. Cz this is how you loose costumers. Cz we will tell the others about how you talk to us and choose to stay and use services somewhere where we are treated nicely with respect. Thank you.

Came to check out their laundry facility and it blew me away. Brand new machines, very clean environment, great prices, friendly staff. No riff raff and no tolerance for Greasers! Vending machines to cure your snacking and thirst while you wait. Tables to fold your clothes and folding chairs to sit in. Clean, clean, impeccably CLEAN!! They also have change machines available.

I want to apologise for my last review. This laundromat has more to it than I seen the first time I was there. It has a Clean Restroom & Tables where you can fold your clothes in the room beside the Coke machine that is also air-conditioned. I didn't know that the first time I went. They also fixed the machines that were not working.
