Storage units in Minneapolis, MN, and nearby areas

Mpls Storage January 1, 2022 If one does the research, or has rented in Public Storage somewhere, one may find that there are rules given to you when you rent a space to store belongings. Private storage, whether it be in someone’s home or in a rental facility, also has rules and safeguards different from Public Storage. Prices are lower in Private Storage. As an individual who has used both, I prefer the Private Storage locker called `Mpls Storage. In Public Storage, the unit rented costs approximately double for the size at a privately owned storage unit. In addition, one pays more for 24 hour access. This means you can come and go any time of day or night. You may be subject to vetting so that you are deemed to be unlikely to harass other storage users. When working for a political campaign, it was important to have accessibility late after fundraisers to be able to store equipment etc. Still, there are persons who may accost you who have no business being inside. They may enter along with a vehicle unnoticed and sneak up on you even though there are many cameras there. I found this very unsettling! There are buzzers to push to get help, which is useful, but still unnerving. It takes some time for the police to arrive. There may be homeless who rent a unit and live in it, though that is not legal. Litter is hard to avoid in public storage. Trucks or cars may hem you in if you’re in a hurry and you have to try to find the people who are moving in or out to get them to move their vehicle so you can leave, with little or no help from the office staff. In Mpls. Storage, which is a family-owned business, the rules are clearly written, and you are given a copy upon rental. You are expected to show up on time for an appointment to visit your storage unit. The facility is kept clean, carts are always available to help move your belongings to or from your vehicle to your unit. I have rented in this facility for over ten years, at half the price of Public Storage. I have never encountered anyone who does not belong there. This is a clean facility in which I feel safe. H.

There great and trustworthy

In searching for a storage facility for short term use, we were selling our house and needed a storage to store our things while the house was on the market and we wanted one close to the house. We considered the container companies having one dropped off but it was to costly. I ran across a special Acorn had online on a storage unit size that would work. I made a drive down the road and inquired about it. I was greeted by a very friendly, cheerful & professional woman that was well informed on the size of storage we would need with what we needed to store.. she told me specials they had on other units and showed me a blueprint of the units and their dimensions, she also went out of way to figure out which one of the storages I was interested in would be closest and easiest for me to get to. . There was no pressure to purchase any frivolous items and she took me to the unit we were interested in and showed it to me. The rental process was quick and painless. I’ve rented from one of those big box storage facilities and they practically want your DNA when you rent from them, also, it takes and entire lunch hour to rent a small storage unit. The rental process here was quick, easy and within 15 minutes after the showing of the unit I was leaving their office. The facility is gated and controlled by electric gate that only opens by you entering g your own personal code you choose. There is an elevator and stairs to the second floor. To enter the elevator you also enter your code as you did at the gate. The security at the storage is excellent. There are two ways out of the facility which I like and what I like even better is that it’s a family owned business for thirty years. Two extremely solid and strong locks are also provided for you in sealed packaging for your storage unit. And as a side note, after leaving the facility the next day I received a text message from the office reminding me that I forgot to put my locks on my unit which I thought was good service. Located on Lyndale Ave just North of the Camden McDonalds it’s in a great location in the big city but has the small town personal customer service! Highly recommend stopping in Acorn storage facility and checking them out!

The manager is very nice and sweet and they help around

Been occupying this facility for over a year. Service, care of the property, snow removal have all been great. I've needed to move units and they couldn't have been more helpful
