1-star Google reviewJennifer S.4 years ago
I have never had the problems I am having with this office until the past few months. Jack is and was an amazing manager. His customer service was stellar. However, I recently went to put some things in my storage only to find out my lock was changed and no one ever contacted me to come to the office and pick up new keys. I live an hour away. I sent an email and no one still has not contacted me to resolve this issue. I called today to speak with Francis and spoke with someone named Daisha who was rude.

This was my first (hopefully my last) storage unit that I have ever purchased. I personally did not have a good experience with the staff at this location and I strongly advise anyone who is looking to store here to choose a different company. If you are someone who is experiencing financial issues I do not recommend this place because they WILL NOT work with you. The storage units at Coolidge and Maple (next to Enterprise Car Rental) is a great place to store (Family previous Experience).

1-star Google reviewKaren L.2 years ago
I was a customer for 3 years. I fell in hard times they did not work with me. They auctioned my belongings off. I had personal stuff, family pics and the buyer did not turn them in to the company. This was a heart breaking incident. …

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.

5-star Google reviewMarlin F.3 months ago
I have been a loyal tenant for more then 15 years. Over that time I have met a lot of property managers but none like Tasha. She is a breath of fresh air quite honestly. Always pleasant and helpful. Her courtesy reminder calls have been VERY helpful and welcomed. I am glad we have someone who is professional and compassionate. I have referred many friends and family over the years. With a manager like Tasha I know they will be handled with care.

Hello! I’m very satisfied with the product here at National storage. From the time I walked in the door I was greeted professionally and the young lady Tasha was very knowledgeable about the availability of the units. I will definitely refer others to this place. Happy customer!!!
