The rating breakdown

10 of the 37 ratings in Google’s published star breakdown for Axess Self Storage are one or two star.

Worked out from 37 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

1-star Google reviewJoshua J.3 years ago
Tried calling. The guy on the phone answered “who is this” uh a potential customer? He was extremely rude and super unhelpful. Almost like he doesn’t care about adding business. Take a course on professional conduct. Edit: I called from my cell phone not my computer? I don’t believe I’ll be sharing my business with you :)

Hi Jashua, when you call from computer and all I could hear was clicking. How other way you expect anybody to answer when not even one word is coming through. Yes I said very clearly that I can't hear you and you heard me because you call … More

After we picked up our contents we found the mattress was wet and moldy and had to be discarded. A mirror was destroyed from water damage. The owner refused any compensation. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE !

This site was AWESOME. It seems every time I go there it gets worse. The bathroom is filthy. MAKE SURE YOU BRING your own toilet paper and paper towel. You ask for a water they use to be ICE COLD. now they are room temperature. Never mind trying to call in . It goes to voicemail. Good luck with a return call. Where Chantal? She was fantastic as well as the lady with the English accent.

Richard is very Rude unprofessional and unpredictable. Threatened me multiple times with liquidation of my locker as my credit card had expired and instead of contacting me on the phone sent TXT messages that appeared as scam messages askiyfor credit card information. I would strongly advise against using this facility.

DO NOT USE THIS PLACE, break ins, rent increases, no accountability for broken or low grade cameras and lack of overall concern for the customer only concern of Richard is taking your money

I phoned to get some information about storage units. When I asked if he knew the size of the units, the man on the phone said he didn't know, and then just said "okay, bye" and hung up.
