Absolutely awful. Rat boxes everywhere. If you are 4 days over your payment they cut your lock and inventory your property and charge you a late fee and a $75 inventory fee. They never answer the phone or are available in property. Absolutely a rip off.

Had my camper stored at this location and it was vandalized just this past week. Made a police report. Stated they would review the video tape to see if they could identify the person or persons as of yet not response and my messages go to voicemail.

They keep going up on the rent idc if its 8 9 or 10 it all adds up.. and your getting nothing extra out of it.. its a shame I can't wait to pull my stuff out. Paying over 100 for a unit that was originally 60/70 bucks

Joel was great.. !!He helped me understand the needs of what kind of storage unit I would need by asking a lot of questions. He was very friendly knowledgeable and helped me through the process. I even came back the next day. I was able to rent another storage with ease. Overall I had no problems at all..Great customer service
