Soak N Suds — Local services in Ely

Very clean, modern facility. This is not common in Ely, NV where most buildings and businesses are dated or in need of replacement. But it's a small town of less than 5,000 people so that is understandable. Washing ranges from $2.75- $6.25, depending on the machine size.
