The property is clean and seems well maintained. Andrea, who helped me get checked in, was great. She is friendly, pays attention and helpful. There were a string of extra charges that are quite annoying. Andrea took the time to explain them, all done with a smile. The manager, John, is a great guy. A welcome change from most self storage places. He is friendly, remembers me and always helpful. .Adam Latham![Storage Units for Rent available at 620 South Marshall Avenue, El Cajon, CA 92020]()
