I left my items there for nearly 3 years. When I finally took them out everything that had a plug on it was missing. The lock was not broken or changed. Thieves!

(4/26) Still locked & being charged to remove it . But that's ok, I'll get claims from corporate in writing next time.. Office staff tried to help resolve the issue. Thanks!! Yesterday I had the most horrible experience ever there. First, the office stated that is open till 6:00 but they were gone at 5:15. (They say winter hours even though it's not winter yet). Then it was pitch Black and I wasn't able to see except for the flashlight on my phone. Then, the lock that I want to cut off was still up there.

I would give zero stars if I could. This storage facility is INFESTED with rats and covered in mold, and management is fully aware of it. When I accessed my unit, my belongings were damaged by rat droppings, chewed items, and mold growing all over my property. Items I trusted them to keep safe are now ruined. What makes this even worse is that this is NOT a surprise to them.
