I'm staying at BWV in a studio, are there laundry facilities there or would I be able the ones at BCV? And it sounds like they're open 24/7, is that correct?
BWV laundry room is on the first (ground) floor.
take the elevator to 1, go to right, around the corner, and the room is on your left - literally, a few seconds from the elevators.
there are 3 washers and 2 dryers, detergent machine, TV, one rolling hamper with hanging rod, table for folding, and a few chairs.
the machines are free, but the detergent is not. bring your own detergent, or you can purchase a small box from the machine ($1?). we also bring fabric softener sheets.
we found the machines are more likely to all be in use from about 8-9AM until about 8PM.
getting to the laundry room about 9AM recently, we noticed one woman had all the washers & dryers going with only a few items in each. a while after each ended, she would come back and replace with a new load of clothes, so no one else could use the machines for most of the morning and afternoon (we kept stopping in to see if any were open). she became very agitated (yelling - pretty nasty) when she "caught" another guest removing her clothes from a completed wash cycle
.
in may, there was a couple that shared that their son was in the college program, and they were washing
all his bedding there (sheets, comforter, etc)....
most people are considerate (& friendly - we've had some nice talks in that room), but if you prefer less stress, try to use the laundry room before 8AM or after 8-9PM
They came back at midnight when nobody was around.
