Mikey was super helpful with showing me around this property and showing me all the different storage units that are available. We ended up upgrading to a 10 x 20 instead of a 10 x 10 because it gave us more space just in case we needed to add more. Thank you, Mikey for your amazing customer service and help We also noticed that he was running two locations. This man needs a raise!

American Self Storage is Top Notch. They graciously helped me get in to a smaller unit as I downsized my belongings. Kind, helpful, and took the time to find me a unit that in same hallway as my old one to help with the transition. Always courteous, Awesome place.
