Infested with rodents. Over $8,000 worth of classroom materials ruined. I’m a special education teacher who wrote grants for my materials and had to take a year off due to pregnancy. After 7 hospitalizations we came to empty my unit and it is infested with rodents. $8k of materials going to the dump and they’re trying to say it’s just us but there are rodent traps all over the property showing that it’s a clear issue for many units. So disgusting and a waste of money. I wish I never stored here. ... Read more

The New ON SITE manager is so friendly and helpful. I love that the site has 24 hour video and audio recording. It really helps me feel safe for myself while im there as well as my things being safe when I'm not. ... Read more

My husband rented 3 storage units, 1 of the storage units had or maybe still has mice. Of coarse didn't know until we took our stuff out. The gentleman working very nice was very apologetic, and gave my husband a contact phone number. Well my husband called, left message we are still waiting for her to contact us. I have done well over 24 loads of laundry. And some stuff I just can't wash off. They destroyed a massage chair, and other stuff. It is outrages to say the least. And for her not to even call us back is more outrages. Other than that we had no other problems. I will not be recommending anyone. I will also be taking other steps if I don't hear from them. ...

Very friendly staff. The manager even came out and offered water to me and the moving people who were putting my stuff in the unit. The movers I hired couldn’t figure out the best way to get the truck close to my unit and the manager was super helpful in accommodating us. ... Read more
