This place is a bloody SCAM! a friend and myself rented a locker and paid rent every month, yet we were still evicted, with no reason given, other than "we went against terms and conditions" and they wernt even going to let us get our stuff, but after some harrassment on my part, and after also repeating their own terms and conditions back to them, (that we never broke by the way) was told that we could in fact come and get our property, and so again I asked them what there reason was for evicting us, , and I…

I would like to make it very clear. First 4 weeks are not free by any means, very deceptive marketing. You will be paying an administrative fee regardless of size when opening up a storage unit. I paid $25+Tax. I believe this is a still a cheaper option then the 3 other companies I called. Sentinel storage monthly rates are ridiculous at $270 per month for a 10'x10' drive up unit. Other companies are $150-$190/month. Up front your paying $26.25 for 4 weeks.

Was treated very very poorly and had one of the women insinuating I was a drug addict when I was having a pseudo seizure because neither one of them could communicate with me apparently. I had to ask movers to keep an eye on me incase I had a grand mal seizure as well. Also not being informed on any of the updated gate functions, BOTH women locked the door and went to the BATHROOM! Then again she continued to insinuate that she had years of drug training and experience.

Very bad service, they were supposed to charge $119 but the receptionist charged $129. False advertisement, the storage is not for me, it's for my mother who is a senior. This is a rip off, charging seniors more than what you said you will charge. Very deceptive marketing.

Not cool that they put a lock on your locker the day you get access before you even get there. I had to go home and unload my truck and trailer at 10pm at night because they couldn't even give me a courtesy text or email with the for the …

If I can give 100 stars, I would. Sentinel Storage specifically this location at 47 St staff are the best. We needed a temporary place to store our belongings in between selling our house and moving to a new one. I found a great pricing online for $90/month as I’ll only need it for less than a month so we can take our time with the move. I called their office and informed them about the pricing I saw online, but these people went above and beyond.

I want to say a sincere thank you to the team at Sentinel Self-Storage, especially Julie, the manager. Life has thrown me a few curveballs lately, and they were willing to work with me to help find a smaller storage unit so I could protect something very important to me — my record collection. That kindness and flexibility meant more than you probably realize. Julie, thank you for being understanding, helpful, and genuinely awesome during a stressful time.
