    Caelyn O. - 15 August 2026
    Meg, the manager is incredibly sweet and helpful! But I would never rent here again for 2 reasons: 1. The insurance (extra $12/Mon) is REQUIRED even if u want to waive the right. 2. The door going into the 5 x 10s is dangerously heavy! It could do major harm if u slipped! And actually my unit is on a slant and so not only do I have to open that massive door over and over but my car is at a slant and just getting in and out is exhausting. I have paid for 2 extra months because between the heat and the door I can't bring myself to empty it. Plus nowhere to empty trash at all. FIND ANOTHER PLACE ... Read more

    This is the second time that we have used Blue Sky Self Storage for a college kid going to The University of Alabama. Storing his stuff there over the summer is the easiest move in and move out operation and the online easy payment and move out notification makes it the best ever!!! ... Read more

    We are moving out and needed a storage unit fast and we went to blue sky by recommendation. It did not disappoint! The staff is very sweet and helpful and will walk you through everything you would need and even sell locks for their units so it’s very convenient! We will very much enjoy our time here and be sure to recommend it to others who need a space. Meg is the person who helped us and was amazing! I’m happy to be using blue sky as my storage unit and will be back if I need them again! ... Read more

    New order ship. Making a lot of improvements. Increasing rent twice in the past year. I will be moving out soon. Can’t keep up with the rent increases. No longer a value. The lowered score is due to the rental increase with only a 30 days notice. ... Read more

    This place has made a complete turn around since Blue Sky took over.. It already looks like a completely different place and they're still making improvements. The change in management is even better - Meg is super nice and goes above and beyond! ... Read more

    Not a good place for valuables. My unit was broken into several times. I changed my locks and someone went in and ransacked my unit. You ask why dont I just move out. I have to go in and repack a 3 bedroom house and then find somewhere else to store my stuff until I move into my house. ... Read more
