Had some water damage due to door not coming down completely. Tried doing a claim and was denied. What is the point of a required insurance when the insurance they provide doesn't cover anything. Be ware of this place.

I would give them a lesser rating if I could. My mothers significant other was holding some of my military uniforms in his unit while I was out of the country. During that time my mother passed and he was incarcerated. I have no clue how to get ahold of him, so I’ve been paying on this unit for 3 years now. I finally got through to an employee after several unanswered phone calls and unanswered messages, only to find out that I cannot retrieve my military uniforms and some of my mothers belongings.

If there was a lower score I'd give that one. Room was in need if repair when I went to clean up to put my stuff in. Attendant offered me the only other room available and the door was also broken on the second one. As for a refund, I have to wait until the manager shows up fays from now😡. I would recommend you ask before you go and waste your time just to find out the rooms are unusable...

Wish I could leave negative stars. This place increased the monthly payment without notice. Also, my unit was broken into, and they couldn't provide footage. Take it the break-in happened right after I emailed to complain about the price increase. What a coincidence, right?

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.
