1-star Google reviewDaniel R.2 years ago
Terrible customer service, they change their policies frequently and charge more and more for the units. Manager Gayle, is extremely rude and has no customer service skills. Expect the price of your unit to go up and up every few months. Units leak water in when it rains and items get damaged Store your stuff somewhere else.

I have been with this storage for many years as has different family members of mine. We have never had any issues with the managers until recently. In the beginning there was a very nice elderly couple that worked there and we never had issues with them. But now since they hired "new" help we have had some unsatisfactory customer service. One manager has been rude on the phone and in person as well. Not only was she extremely unhelpful but also did not conduct herself in a professional manner.
