DO NOT PURCHASE SERVICES FROM THIS LOCATION. You will be overcharged for the managements mistake. Once I moved out of the storage unit, I had called the office to confirm I was removed from their system. They had 100% reassured me that I was completely moved out, they had removed my lock, opened it up for another renter to use it, and I was completely out of the system and would not be charged for the following months.

The same trash stayed in front of my unit for a few weeks so they don’t clean often. Sometimes I hear animal noises, don’t know if it’s chirping from a bird that stuck or mice. Dead bugs stay in my storage hallway. And I’ve been denied access twice costing me uhaul fees, plus other money lost. I’m a very unhappy renter if there was another storage facility with openings near by I would leave in a heartbeat!

Called today to rent a unit for one month. Website advertises a “50% off discount on the first month for first time users”. No mention of a required length of time. I was quoted the 50% price for one month. Then the DM revoked it. …

Poor customer service. Store manager has a negative and abrasive disposition. Management lacks flexibility and humanity.

What satisfied customers point to

The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.

Stacey has been so very helpful over my process of moving my mom and emptying and selling her condo and finding a climate-controlled place to temporarily store my mom’s artwork. From one unit to two to three and back to two—she made it so easy! Very professional, knowledgeable, personable and kind! And now: from two units to three! Easy-peasy!

This was one of the best experiences I have had with renting a storage unit—and I’ve rented dozens over the past three decades. Greg took time to show me the different sizes and answer questions. He even stayed a little after he was supposed to leave to complete the process. If the rental experience is even half as good as the check in I will be thrilled.

Your positive experience means a lot. Greg's dedication to helping you reflects our commitment to great service. We look forward to continuing that experience throughout your rental.

Very easy to rent and the woman in the office was great to work with. Not happy that they don’t prorate…had to pay the full $199 for only eight days of usage. VERY warm in the unit; hard to work in there to clean up the items. Also, no …
