Laundromania (Sycamore Mall: East Iowa City) 1845 Lower Muscatine Road, Iowa City, IA 52240

"I’ve been coming here for a long time and this is the only laundromat I will go to. I’ve had a lot of interesting and positive interactions here and haven’t had any issues with 1) men making me uncomfortable or 2) people stealing things. The other visitors are usually very friendly and there is almost always enough seating- barring when several families with children are present. It’s generally clean and sometimes machines are out of order but only a few at a time if that is the case. The card to coin dispenser has been down a handful of times but that’s going to happen with any place like this and they fix things reasonably quickly. For how many people are in and out of this place, they do a good job with cleaning and maintenance. This is where my boyfriend and I have gotten some of our most quality work done as college students."

"They stole all my clothes in this laundry, this is so sad. The person who stole my clothes in this laundry will never be happy in life, God will punish you."

"This is a high-quality laundry place, with updated machines, and many common features and devices to optimize the time there. The location iss perfect with good parking in a popular commercial center. The service runs smoothly with little management presence. There is an issue with some people using the place for purposes different than laundry. The busiest days are weekends and also afternoon and evenings."

"I washed my clothes here for years and there were always enough working machines to get the job done. The place was reasonably clean, especially considering how busy it is. Any vandalized or broken equipment was usually fixed by the time I would come back next week. The art on the walls is amusing. Televisions are provided if you are so inclined, but they could use more seating. I never had any issues there."

"This laundromania unfortunately has more cons than pros Pros - *Decent washers *Decent dryers *Plenty of both *Never more than 1 or 2 out of order *Washers and dryers are pretty clean *Parking lot is medium size. Gets filled fast tho on the weekends. - Get there really really early in order to beat the rush. Cons - *Dirty - It smells like old piss in the entire area of the biggest washers and bathroom. Its horrible. UPDATE - THE ENTIRE PLACE SMELLS LIKE PISS THE MORE PEOPLE SHOW UP AND MOVE AROUND. *Dirty - the bathroom is so thick with the smell of old piss, I refuse to use it let alone even touch the light switch. *Dirty - the folding tables, the tables to sit at and even the seats are dirty. I ended up bringing cleaner I had in my car to clean the tables and the seat. *Always one of the change machines out of order - last time the credit card was out - this time the $1 tokens was out. I had to make everything into quarters. Not a big deal. Just pointing it out. *A parade of transients coming through and locking themselves in the bathroom for long period of times - 30 min to an hour. Not that I want to use the bathroom. *The channel changer doesn't work for any of the TVs above the dryers. *The Tvs don't work for the ones back by the bathroom. Overall - this is place is where I go when I'm desperate."
