Cole Linen & Laundry

The good news — laundry here gets done and isn’t too costly, so if that’s all you need, then it works perfectly fine. The bad? I got there around 6pm and the window was closed… in the middle of business hours. To get change I had to buy food next door. Also, hardly anyone was in here, but it smelled like a homeless person was squatting in here. It’s the first laundromat I’ve ever been to that didn’t smell like fresh laundry. Don’t they clean for reasons like this? It makes me question how clean the clothes actually get… But the clothes came out fine. Either way, basic shop with no frills and will get the job done, just a bad smell.

New machines, water heaters and water softeners. The only downside is there is no sink or bathroom for customer use. The machines are well maintained.

What you’d expect a laundry mat to be. I’m usually in here once every 7 – 10 days, and have never had a problem (worth mentioning). The staff is friendly, and the place is pretty clean. Sometimes machines will be out of order, but there is plenty to go around (which is the case at any laundry place I’ve used).
I haven’t used the actual wash/​dry/​fold service, so I can’t rate that, but I do know that those ladies make a stack of towels and sheets look beautiful!
I don’t see the big deal with giving this place a bad rating because the worker spoke broken English, or that their own change machine couldn’t be used. I think I recall seeing a sign that said «for customer use only,» on the change machine.
If you want community spirit, embrace the entire community, even the ones who haven’t always been here. Besides, it’s a laundry mat… not Susie homemaker’s biannual cookie social. If you need some change, buy a piece of candy from the 7/​11, or hang out with the lovely transients that you’re so proud of.
One last thing… never write a review when you’re mad. It only makes you look like an ass.

Great place, usually space to wash. For the most part staff is very friendly and welcoming!

POOR COMMUINITY SPIRIT!!! I have a business right next door to this Laundromat and use it’s services frequently. This evening I needed a few quarters to get some H2O from the water dispenser outside 7 – 11 so I went inside to change a dollar bill for some quarters. I started to use the change dispenser and a woman who I could barely understand because she spoke broken English asked me if I was washing clothes. When I explained to her I lived next door an just needed a few quarters told me I needed to bring in clothes to use the machine!!! Are you kidding me? I have lived in the neighborhood quite a while and HAVE NEVER encountered such a rude. disrespectful response… even from the transients who frequent the area! This woman was driving a van with «Cole Linen & Laundry» graphics on it and believe me, I will never use their services again. I am glad this attitude is not indicative of the downtown Grover Beach merchants as a whole…7−11, the taco stand, the jewelry shop… these people are all hospitable and giving individuals. This woman not only needs to learn the importance of community spirit & hospitality… but needs to TAKE SOME ENGLISH CLASSES!
