Came here because washer and dryers broke down in our apartments. The first time we came here we thought it was really nice. They keep the place super clean and you can always see the attendant cleaning something. They have many washers and dryers at good prices, and you can even use your debit/credit card for each individual machine. The reason for 3 stars is that the attendants are annoying. Our first time here the man who was working was going around to everyone trying to make small talk, even trying to talk to someone who was on the phone and bugging a man who was watching a movie and had headphones on. When we were done and bagging our laundry he was standing there watching us and told us how we need to tie our bags into a bow and not a knot...maybe he was trying to help but he should let us bag our laundry the way we want to. Also, as he was cleaning I saw him pick up a ladys purse off the floor when it was sitting right next to her and move it to the counter so he could clean the floor, which I thought was weird and rude. I know he was just doing his job, but still, maybe just clean up after she left. The second time, and probably last, the lady who was working there started taking our laundry out of the washer RIGHT when it stopped even though we were sitting right there. She was really rude and told us we had to take out our stuff on time then proceeded to tell us we were using the dryers wrong with our cards a few minutes after the dryers started and were working fine. She spoke to us like we were stupid. If people need help, they would ask. Overall, its a really nice place, convenient, and clean. Just the employees need to chill out and let people to their laundry in peace.

My husband and I love this Laundromat because of the location, cleanliness of the facility, attentive staff, and immensely large washers & dryers for cleaning our king size comforters. The only problem weve ever had was on our last visit (11/16/14), in which we were overcharged $14.50 on our credit card for the use of (2) of their largest washers @ $8.50/ea ($17) + (2) of their largest dryers @ $4.25/ea ($8.50) = $25.50. (Our credit statement reflected (2) charges of $20/ea = $40). We used our credit card on a previous visit & were charged correctly, although unsure what went wrong this time. This review is being written before weve had a chance to bring it to the attention of Management, as we just discovered the discrepancy, but we have full confidence that the matter will be resolved promptly. Wonderful place, but review your statement carefully if youre paying with your credit card.

This place is very clean, and an attendant is on duty while open. Theyre friendly and have a good knowledge of the Maytag washers and dryers. Heres some info I didnt see in previous reviews: PARKING Parking is limited, and I mean like 8 parking spots. You cannot park in the bakery lot next store, but street parking is available PAYMENT All devices accept quarters and credit/debt payment. Change machines are available, and accept 1s, 5s, 10s, and $20s. All change returned in quarters. NOTE: IF YOU USE A CARD PAYMENT THE SYSTEM WILL AUTHORIZE $20 ON YOUR CREDIT/DEBT CARD.

We arrived at 2:30pm on a Sunday. Almost a full house that grew during the course of the 2+ hours it took us to do 5 xl loads. Spent $31.75. Very clean. Comfortable. Nice bathroom. Quiet neighborhood setting. The time flew by and I never got annoyed except when this little kid accidently tripped over my foot then looked at her mom like I did something wrong lol she was okay and I wasnt really annoyed but seriously except for that, there was enough room to comfortably fit a full house. The attendants were super nice and helped me resolve a user error and refunded my money because I pushed the wrong button on a dryer machine. Buttons galore in this place lol. Central air inside. Comfortable bucket seats. Nicely mannered people in there today.

I like this place but every time I go there, it is always crowded (although I have yet to wait for open machines) and I just do not care for that much company while waiting for my laundry. The location is awkwardly placed and the parking gets pretty tight. Bathrooms are always clean and the attendants are indeed chatty (sometimes more than I care for) and it is true that they tend to urge you to finish your laundry. It is a bit more expensive than some places and the television is always on something like soap operas or news. It is nice and clean but overall I do not come here often if I can help it.

I went to tidal wave today with my mom to wash all of our linens and blankets. The only thing positive I can say is that the employees are kind and helpful. The dryers we used burned a couple of our blankets and most of the bedspreads we washed also stunk worse then when they went in. We washed and dried everything the way its supposed to be washed and dried. This wasnt my first rodeo. I wouldnt recommend Tidal Wave to anyone! Unless you dont care about your stuff getting ruined.

Nice, clean laundromat; however, I do NOT suggest using your debit/credit card on the machines. They are very touchy and you will be over-charged. Drying 4 loads of laundry cost me $27.25 because the lady who worked there didnt listen to me when I told her I already swiped my card and the dryers didnt start. She insisted one dyer worked just fine and it was just me not doing it right. Thirty minutes later, she put an "Out of Service" on the dryer I moved my clothes out of.

Im dont go to laundromats often, but Tidalwave is exceptional. Someone is on duty, the equipment is excellent, and they have some of the biggest washers and dryers here that Ive ever seen. Very quiet on a Tuesday afternoon. Free Wi-fi! Not something Id expect since I brought my phone to tether off of, but a very nice courtesy. Vending machines sell pop and snacks. Will recommend to anyone looking for a laundromat.

Our dryer at home died and we werent able to get a new one for a week. So we Googled the nearest laundry mat and ended up at Tidalwave. It was clean and inviting. The lady that works there during the day was very helpful and informative, making sure we knew times on the dryers as well as which machines were best for our needs. If we ever need a laundry mat again, we know just where to go!

Visited when the home dryer went out of service. If you take too long when a cycle is complete, the attendant may take your stuff out. Clean place with friendly and helpful staff overall. Vending machines available if you forgot dryer sheets, like I did. A ultra large dryer is available, which is cool. WiFi didnt work when I visited.

The reasons I use this laundromat are; it is very clean, safe, and the gentleman who oversees it during the day is so very helpful. When I bring in my huge bedspread and larger blankets, I always ask hlm which size washer/dryer to use. He is so helpful to everyone. He is a real asset to that business!!! L. Weber
