Had an incredibly smooth experience start to finish. I got a call from Kirk, the owner, when I booked, to answer any questions and make sure this wasn’t just an online transaction. He provided a lock and was very accommodating. Highly recommend!Bettina HRoyal Mini Storage, Ames, IA 50010

I’ve had a great experience with Signature Storage in Ames. The facility is spotless, the pricing is reasonable, and the staff goes out of their way to help. What I appreciate most is the flexibility in their lease agreements—no pressure, no hidden hoops, just straightforward terms and the ability to cancel when life changes. It’s the kind of customer service that keeps you coming back.Jeremy F.Signature Self Storage, Ames, IA 50014

We needed to use a storage unit this year due to the sale of our home. It was very convenient to arrange for use of the unit. When contacting management, they were very responsive. The site is very secure and I appreciate the amount of security. We had sentimental items in our unit so it gave peace of mind they were protected and safe.Jenny WitzkeFarner Storage, Ames, IA 50010
