Lafayette Boulevard Laundromat is a clean and convenient neighborhood spot with plenty of machines in a variety of sizes, suitable for large items like a queen size comforter. Many reviewers find it very clean, with well-maintained washers and dryers that are promptly cleaned after each use. The atmosphere is appreciated, with a seating area, ceiling fans, and TVs, though some note the TVs sometimes stay off or are on odd channels. There is a helpful and polite employee who regularly cleans the place, assists customers, and keeps the bathroom very clean and well-stocked. The laundromat offers laundry products and vending machines, with a smoking area outside. Parking is limited. However, there are significant concerns. Multiple customers warn about the card payment washing machines, reporting being overcharged, sometimes almost double the posted price, and advise using cash or checking accounts carefully. While one overcharge was reimbursed, it was done reluctantly. Prices have increased and dryer times have decreased, with dryers sometimes barely getting hot. Special discount days and amenities like arcade games have stopped. Notably, there have been sightings of roaches in the bathrooms, on tables, and in the sitting area. The business has 24-hour summer hours and a reported $1 wash day on Wednesday.
I don't see any issues with the place, it's better than average for a laundromat.

Be careful of the card payment washing machines!!! Load was supposed to be $4.00. They charged me $10.00. The girl who was working reimbursed me when I showed her the charge on my phone, but seemed very reluctant to do so. Also, count your quarters when getting change from their machines.
