Horrible experience. My storage was broken into here and they were rude about it. Acted as though they didn't care. Lied about sending the security footage to the cops. And by he way the security footage is only at the front gate, so the …

Have not currently used this facility. I am considering it, or was! Still on the fence as of now! I see great reviews and replies to those reviews. I also see deterring reviews and no response from the company! It's alarming! I understand that you're expected to get both good and bad reviews at any company... I'm concerned because this company isn't shown defending themselves! As I've said, i haven't had business with this company, I would like to although my concerns are.... well, I'd hope that I wasn't the one!

Tried to call to get a price because their website has very little information about but when I called they girl acted like I was calling her personal phone and when asked if this was a storage facility she hung up me. Found it odd so I check that I had the right number, which it was. So they lost a customer and got a review. And if you’re looking for a storage unit this is not it. Smh

Kiss your valuables goodbye! They do not actually have video surveillance even though they have a sign up. They could not keep many units secure as they let an authorized user actively and freely cut locks off of units, raiding any …

Brad, I am so sorry you had a bad experience at our facility. We have updated our facility with many more cameras and yes we do have real time video surveillance.

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 reviewTriple L.3 years ago
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing truly outstanding service at Total Self Storage in Arkansas, and I am eager to share my wonderful encounter, particularly with the incredible Susan. In a world where true kindness and a willingness to assist are often rare gems, Susan shone brightly as a beacon of exceptional service. My situation was a bit unique – I needed a storage unit for just a single day to facilitate a special delivery for one of my valued customers.
