Coin-free Laundry  4 Star Rating - Very good

Despite the name, there is not a coin in sight in this establishment. All of the machines work with a card that you charge up at a machine. You must buy the card (for $2) the first time you visit the laundry. After that just keep it in your wallet (you probably will have some value left on it) and consider it to be like cash.
This is a great laundromat, VERY clean, very modern, LOTS of machines. I really like the electronic-card payment system that it uses, it sure beats having to round up $20-worth of quarters for laundry day.
This facility specializes in LARGE washing machines (double and triple-loaders). I actually prefer these to a regular machine because I think they get the clothes cleaner (you add 2 sets of detergent to the machine - one for the "pre-wash" and 1 for the "wash".) They have 5 different sizes of machines (regular machines + 4 sizes of front-loading "mega-machines"). Be warned that the machines nearest the door are NOT the smallest (& therefore cheapest!) ones. To get the best deal look around and pick the best-sized machine for your load of laundry. The smallest of the "mega-machines" are all the way in the middle row.

PROS: Awesome Coinless machines, BIG machines, clean, spacious, TELEVISIONS
CONS: Slightly expensive, dryers take just a little longer than I'd like them to
